Hi there!

Etanercept is used perispinaly for the treatment of neuro-inflammatory disorders or localized inflammation around the region, while subcutaneous injections are used for autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disorders. Perispinal injections are unlikely show improvement in disorders related to muscular issues.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
