Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common cause of musculoskeletal pain. MPS in the muscles of the lateral scapula frequently develops due to poor sitting posture (rounded shoulders and cervical kyphosis) in the office as well as long working hours. Herein, we introduce the use of the trigger point injection (TPI) technique in three muscles (i.e., the deltoid, infraspinatus, and teres major muscles) with the same sonographic view for the purpose of treating MPS in the lateral scapular area.
