Ultrasound-guided trigger point injections in the cervicothoracic musculature: a new and unreported technique.

Abstract

Ultrasound-guided trigger point injections may help confirm proper needle placement within the cervicothoracic musculature. The use of ultrasound-guided trigger point injections in the cervicothoracic musculature may also reduce the potential for a pneumothorax by an improperly placed injection.
