When you can move the injured area without pain stopping you, try to keep moving it so the joint or muscle does not become stiff. A pharmacist can help with sprains and strains Striated muscle; formed of short, uninucleate, branching myocytes which connected at intercalated discs

Obliquus capitis inferior, that arises from the spinous process of axis and inserts on the transverse process of atlas.The omohyoid is a narrow muscle that connects the scapula to the hyoid bone. The muscle is composed of two bellies connected by an intermediate tendon, similar to the digastric muscle. Moore, K. L., Dalley, A. F., & Agur, A. M. R. (2014). Clinically Oriented Anatomy (7th ed.). Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

The sternohyoid is innervated by the anterior rami of the first three cervical spinal nerves via the ansa cervicalis, that arises from the cervical plexus. The muscle is vascularized by the superior thyroid branch of the external carotid artery. Visceral striated muscle is structurally identical to skeletal muscle (i.e. looks the same in microscopic preparations). However, it is limited to a number of soft tissue structures, namely the tongue, pharynx and upper third of the esophagus. Cesmebasi, Alper (1 January 2015), Tubbs, R. Shane; Rizk, Elias; Shoja, Mohammadali M.; Loukas, Marios (eds.), "Chapter 31 - Anatomy of the Cervical Plexus and Its Branches", Nerves and Nerve Injuries, San Diego: Academic Press, pp.441–449, doi: 10.1016/b978-0-12-410390-0.00032-9, ISBN 978-0-12-410390-0 The term infrahyoid refers to the region below the hyoid bone, while the term strap muscles refers to the long and flat muscle shapes which resembles a strap. The stylopharyngeus muscle is considered by many to be one of the strap muscles, [ citation needed] but is not an infrahyoid muscle.All of the infrahyoid muscles are innervated by the ansa cervicalis from the cervical plexus ( C1- C3) [4] [5] except the thyrohyoid muscle, which is innervated by fibers only from the first cervical spinal nerve travelling with the hypoglossal nerve. [1] Function [ edit ] Skeletal muscle is the most common type of muscle tissue found in the body and consists of highly elongated, multinucleate, non branching cells which are arranged in a parallel manner. Skeletal myocytes often measure several centimeters, or tens of centimeters in length, with the number of nuclei contained within being proportional to their length. They are biologically classified as ‘ syncytia’; cells which are formed by fusion of several smaller, mononuclear cells. In the case of skeletal muscle, the cells which merge to form myocytes are known as myoblasts. The function of the anterior scalene muscle depends on its point of action and whether the muscle acts alone or together with its contralateral counterpart. Depending on the type, the primary function of muscle is to move the bones of the skeleton. However, muscles also enable the heart to beat and can be found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines, uterus and stomach.

The superior part arises from the anterior tubercles of transverse processes of vertebrae C3-C5 and inserts into the anterior tubercle of vertebra C1. Circular muscles (also known as skeletal sphincter muscles) have a fascicular pattern where the fascicles are arranged in concentric rings. Muscles with this arrangement surround external body openings, which they close by contracting. Muscles with this fascicular arrangement may be termed as orbicular muscles (Latin: orbiculus = small disc), such as the orbicularis oculi (which covers the eye) and orbicularis oris (which surrounds the mouth). The infrahyoid muscles function to elevate and depress the hyoid bone and larynx during swallowing and speech. [6] This moves the larynx as one unit.

The rectus capitis is a short strap muscle that arises from the anterior surface of the lateral mass of atlas (C1 vertebra) and inserts on the basilar part of the occipital bone, anterior to the foramen magnum.

The digastric muscle has dual innervation. The anterior belly is innervated by the nerve to mylohyoid, a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve, while the posterior belly receives innervation from the digastric branch of the facial nerve. The blood supply for the digastric muscle is derived from the submental branch of the facial artery, and posterior auricular and occipital arteries. It’s also worth noting there are several other contractile cells which resemble smooth muscle cells (either morphologically and/or functionally) however are not classed as such. Examples include:
