chief complaint:
constant, moderately severe
neck and shoulder pain,
with primary limitation of cervical flexion,
x 2 weeks, with increased intensity x 1 day,
precluding ability to do common office tasks.
Persistent aching to pounding severe pain was what crippled ability to do even standard deskwork.
No sudden falls or known recent physical trauma traceable as possible trigger events.
Areas highlighted in red correspond to neuro-myofascial adhesions and active trigger point distribution. The NMTPs formed a reverb circuit.
