Description[edit | edit source]
Musculus splenius capitis is one of the deep (or intrinsic) muscles of the back. It is a broad strap-like muscle in the back of the neck. Deep to Sternocleidomastoid at the mastoid process.[1]
Origin[edit | edit source]
Lower half of ligamentum nuchae (C4-C6) and spinous process of C7-T3[2][3]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
Superior nuchal line, Mastoid process of temporal bone, and rough surface adjoining occipital bone[2][3]
Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]
Dorsal ramus of spinal nerves C3-C6[2]
Blood Supply[edit | edit source]
Muscular branches of the occipital artery from the external carotid artery. [2]
Action[edit | edit source]
Acting bilaterally: extension of the head and cervical spine
Acting unilaterally: lateral flexion of the head and neck and rotation the head to the same side. [3]
Function[edit | edit source]
It also assists in supporting the head in the erect position[1]
In people with neck pain it has shown that over activity of superficial muscles and splenius capitis and inhibition of Semispinalis Cervicis[4]
So in management of neck pain we have to focus on exercises that has more specification to activate Semispinalis Cervicis and to perform stretch and myofascial release to splenius capitis .
