Description[edit | edit source]
Longissimus Capitis belongs to the intermediate column of the Sacrospinalis group of muscles.[1]
Origin[edit | edit source]
Posterior surface of transverse processes of T1 to T5 and the articular tubercle of C4 to C7.[2]
Insertion[edit | edit source]
Posterior margin of mastoid process and the temporal bone.[2][3]
Nerve Supply[edit | edit source]
Dorsal rami of cervical and thoracic spinal nerves (C6 to T4).[4]
Blood Supply[edit | edit source]
Muscular branches of the occipital artery from the external carotid artery.[4]
Action[edit | edit source]
Acting bilaterally, extends and hyperextends head; acting unilaterally, flexes and rotates the head ipsilaterally.[2]
Trigger Point Referral Pattern[edit | edit source]
Pain is usually referred around the ear, but can also refer nearby into the neck and behind the eye.[5]
