Inject local anesthetic (without a steroid) into the affected suboccipital triangle. Generally lasts 4-6 hours; patient goes home to rest and perform the previously described alternative maneuver. The hope is that the anesthetic will permit the local muscles to relax enough to finally unlock. Good drugs Muscle relaxants, analgesics ( pain killers ) such as Fioricet, hydrocodone. These might make subsequent attempts, later on in week, at mobilization easier.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
