Punción seca del tríceps braquial
El músculo tríceps braquial
El único músculo que se encuentra en la parte posterior del brazo, el tríceps braquial, un músculo grande y grueso, de hecho se origina en tres cabezas, de ahí su nombre. Las tres cabezas son; la cabeza larga, la cabeza medial y la cabeza lateral. Algunos dicen que tiene forma de herradura. Las cabezas lateral y larga cubren la mayor parte de la cabeza medial como se muestra arriba.
El tríceps braquial se utiliza para estabilizar el hombro y endereza la articulación del codo. Desde una posición flexionada, la cabeza larga puede aducir y extender el húmero. Al arrojar objetos o empujar una puerta para cerrarla, se utiliza el tríceps braquial.
Las causas del dolor incluyen; lesión por movimientos repetitivos, acción repetitiva del brazo, incluso de deportes como el tenis y el baloncesto, y levantar objetos pesados con la palma de la mano hacia arriba.
El dolor referido de los puntos gatillo en el tríceps braquial se puede sentir en el hombro, la parte superior e inferior del brazo como se ve arriba.
Aquí, Paul Townley explica cómo secar los puntos de activación de agujas en el tríceps braquial.
