Introduction

This chapter offers a close look at the structure and movement of the head and neck, specific information on pertinent muscles, injuries and overuse syndromes, and nerve complaints. Treatment protocol and dimensional massage techniques for individuals with tension headaches are outlined for practice.

14-7

Structural Perspectives of the Head and Neck

The head weighs 10-13 pounds and perches on 7 cervical vertebrae and is supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Head and neck actions are complicated by the weight of the head and gravity.

14-8

Structural Perspectives of the Head and Neck (cont.)

The posterior cervical muscles work hard to combat and oppose flexion in extension. The muscles of the head and neck are in constant states of concentric and eccentric contraction depending on the position of the head.

Structural Perspectives of the Head and Neck (cont.)

Analyzing the actions of the muscles, the agonists, synergists, antagonists, and stabilizers are important to taking a dimensional approach to the head and neck region.

The Muscles

Muscles listed are involved in tension headaches, stiff necks, and postural problems. Refer to Chapter 4 and review the muscles of the shoulder girdle.

14-11

The Muscles (cont.)Trapezius

The upper and lower trapezius acts as its own agonist and antagonist. It provides a connection between the thoracic region and the head and works to bilaterally extend the head. The weight of the extremities pulls on the trapezius.

14-12

The Muscles (cont.)Levator Scapulae

The levator scapulae elevates the scapula. Repetitive action of elevating the scapula could result in a pull on the cervical vertebrae affecting the curve. The muscle’s hypertonicity could contribute to tension headaches and stiff necks.

14-13

The Muscles (cont.)Rhomboids

Rhomboids lengthen with rounded shoulders and head-forward postures. This posture puts a lot of stress on the posterior cervical muscles leading often to tension headaches.

14-14

The Muscles (cont.)Splenius Capitis and Splenius Cervicis

These muscles work both bilaterally and unilaterally. Splenius capitis rotates the head to the same side and assists the SCM in lateral flexion. Both muscles extend the head bilaterally.

14-15

The Muscles (cont.)Splenius Capitis and Splenius Cervicis

Splenius cervicis torques on the cervical spine. These muscles have the unique ability to rotate the head while other side extends the neck. Both muscles are involved in whiplash injuries, tension headaches, and stiff necks. McGraw-Hill McGraw-Hill © 2011 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

14-16

The Muscles (cont.)Longissimus Capitis

The longissimus capitis is part of the erector spinae network. It bilaterally extends the head and unilaterally flexes and rotates the head to the same side. It is layered beneath the splenius capitis and SCM making a tender area near the occipital bone.

14-17

The Muscles (cont.)Semispinalis Capitis and Cervicis

The semispinalis capitis cushions the trapezius and together they both support the head with extension. The semispinalis capitis can entrap the greater occipital nerve as it travels to the scalp.

14-18

The Muscles (cont.)Rotatores and Multifidi

The rotatores and multifidi are deep paraspinal muscles. Bilaterally they help extend the spine and unilaterally they help rotate the spine to the opposite side. The multifidi contribute to lateral flexion.

14-19

The Muscles (cont.)Suboccipitals

The suboccipitals provide support for the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae and are the deepest layer of muscles in the posterior neck. Rectus capitis posterior minor extends the head bilaterally and is often a source of tension and soreness.

14-20

The Muscles (cont.)Occipitofrontalis

The occipitofrontalis is a combination of the frontalis and occipitalis. The posterior cervical muscles affect the tension of the occipitofrontalis through the connection at the occiput.

14-21

The Muscles (cont.)Temporalis

The temporalis is shaped like a shell and covers the side of the head extending superiorly above the ears. It can develop trigger points in individuals with tension headaches and those who suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.

14-22

The Muscles (cont.)Sternocleidomastoid

SCM bilaterally flexes the head, laterally flexes to the same side, and rotates to the opposite side. It extends the head bilaterally at the atlanto-occipital joint. It shares the accessory nerve with the trapezius.

14-23

Injuries and Overuse SyndromesWhiplash

Whiplash is an injury resulting from a sudden impact that causes a violent hyperextension of the head and neck followed by hyperflexion and perhaps an additional hyperextention. Muscles involved may include the SCM, scalenes, longus colli, suboccipitals, splenis capitis and cervicis, levator scapulae, and many posterior cervical muscles.

14-24

Injuries and Overuse Syndromes (cont.)Torticollis

Torticollis or wry neck refers to a spasmodic contraction of the neck muscles mostly the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid, as they both share the spinal accessory nerve. Clients with torticollis need a diagnosis and it may or may not be contraindicated for massage therapy.

Injuries and Overuse Syndromes (cont.)Headaches

A headache is defined as a diffuse pain in various areas of the head where the pain is not confined to the distribution of a nerve. There are 13 different classifications of headaches and two basic categories that physicians use for diagnosis.

14-26

Injuries and Overuse Syndromes (cont.)Headaches

The primary category includes classifications of migraine, tension-type, and cluster headaches. The secondary category includes headaches associated with structural lesions, trauma, vascular disorders, nonvascular intracranial disorders, substances or withdrawal from them, metabolic disorder, facial and cranial pain, and cranial neuralgias.

14-27

Injuries and Overuse Syndromes (cont.)Headaches

Tension headaches can be caused by shoulder tension as a result of repetitive action and/or posture. The Touch Research Institute has shown that massage between headache episodes can reduce the number of headaches, decrease pain intensity, lower stress hormone levels, increase regular sleep patterns, and increase serotonin levels.

Other Soft-Tissue IssuesStiff Neck

The stiff neck is a catchall for limitations in neck movements. Causes include: sleep positions, posture, repetitive actions, compensatory changes from other injuries, and postoperative and viral infections.

14-29

Nerve ComplaintsOccipital Nerve Entrapment

Occipital nerve entrapment occurs when the greater occipital nerve becomes entrapped by semispinalis capitis and subsequently the trapezius. Sufferers complain of numbness, pain, and tingling in the back of the head.

Nerve ComplaintsScalenes

Scalenes are anterior cervical muscles that insert into the 1st and 2nd ribs. The are synergists to the SCM and are involved in respiration. They also surround the brachial plexus and are capable of entrapping the plexus.

Pain, numbness, and tingling with passive movement may help distinguish a problem in the cervical region. If a cervical involvement is suspected it is appropriate to refer.

Unwinding the Muscles of the Head and Neck

Relieving the tension in the head, neck, and shoulders helps to balance the head on the neck, assists with appropriate postural alignment, supports chiropractic adjustments, increases range of motion, and reduces pain and/or soreness.

Unwinding the Muscles of the Head and Neck (cont.)

Use the headache questionnaire in the Appendix for individuals complaining of tension headaches. Do not treat a client who is experiencing a migraine during treatment time. Refer clients who present with a headache and high blood pressure.
