Patients with hemoglobinopathies are known to experience complications e.g. bone pain [1], splenic infarction [2] and osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) of the hip (anecdotal report) subsequent to commercial airline flights. These complications are due to prolonged decrease in oxygen delivery at high altitudes.

This is the first description of a procedure targeting the myofascial tissues since Janet Travell’s
description of myofascial trigger points in 1942. However unlike trigger point injections, this
minimally invasive myofascial nerve injection is performed differently and targets the myofascial
tissues, peripheral innervations, posterior spinal structures and spinal nerve roots at the same
time. It is different from a trigger point injection that aims to block trigger points within a muscle.
Prolonged standing or sitting, posture and other multiple factors can create recurrent injuries
with attendant inflammation and episodically aggravate pain. Thus there is a need for a simple
intervention technique that can be performed from the medical clinic to the battlefield to quickly
relieve inflammation and prevent chronic pain.
Oxygen therapy and rapid in home treatment should be the standard of care for preventing and treating pain in a sickle cell crisis. A sickle cell pain crisis is an inflammatory storm with ischemia-reperfusion injury that results in multiorgan damage the longer the duration of the crisis.
