SCM pain for a few weeks

(SCM is Sternocleidomastoid muscle as shown in the picture.)

30 year old female patient came to my office due to pain in her neck for a few weeks. she works as a therapist and uses her upper limbs a lot at work. pain is sharp and constant and worse after work.

Pain is located on the left side of her neck near GB 20 (that is located at the base of the skull or posterior hair line) and pain radiates down to her left SCM. upon palpation, the whole left side of her neck was painful.

she also suffers from joint pain (shoulder and elbows) insomnia (waking up frequently at night) anxiety palpitation but no urination or defication problems. she is slightly over-weight. digestion is fine except for nausea at times.

treatment GB 43 with tonification method (left side) Pain in the neck including SCM disappeared after 15 minutes.

i told her Gall Bladder meridian has problems due to her anxiety and she agreed she has lots of anxiety issues.
