Trapezitis / neck pain/ upper back pain :- Trapezitis is a common problem which causes pain and spasm on the upper back and nape of the neck area. Trapezius is a broad, flat and superficial muscle which extends from the back of the head all the way up to the mid back covering the shoulder blades. People who perform heavy and repetitive activities involving the shoulder are most prone to Trapezitis. Even sitting in a bad posture for too long, such as in front of a laptop can result in severe shoulder and neck strain. It is much more prevalent in women than in men mainly because they have a more static work-load. Treatment – Medicines Exercises Posture correction Ice application DR.
