Muscles causing pain in the neck and back

Muscle, straightening the spine and back pain

Muscles of the back should be moderately stretched, which allows us to identify strained thickenings containing trigger zones. The degree of their stretching is regulated by pulling the knees to the chest. With superficial palpation, areas of soreness and, often, reflected pain are determined.

The widest back muscle and back pain

Unbends the shoulder. Brings his hand to the trunk and penetrates the withdrawn shoulder, lifts the raised hand; if the hands are fixed on the bar-horizontal bar) pulls the trunk towards them (when climbing, swimming).

Anterior cog muscle and back pain

With the simultaneous reduction of all fibers, keeps the spatula and its place, shifting it along with it somewhat forward. The upper teeth of this muscle pull the medial angle of the scapula forward and laterally.

Muscle lifting shoulder blade and back pain

With a fixed neck, it first participates in the rotation of the scapula, lowering the glenoidal cavity, and then raising the scapula upward. If the scapula is fixed by other muscles - it helps to complete the turn of the neck in its direction.

Large and small diamond-shaped muscles

Move the scapula to the spine and partly upward. Also rotate the scapula medially, lowering the glenoidal depression downward. These muscles assist in the strong reduction and extension of the shoulder, stabilizing the scapula.

Belly muscles

In the belt muscle of the head, the trigger zones are determined by deep palpation. Usually these points are found in that part of the muscle that lies subcutaneously within the muscular triangle formed by the trapezius muscle behind, the sternocleidomastoid muscle in front and the muscle lifting the scapula.

Trapezius muscle and neck pain

With bilateral reduction of all fibers, the muscle promotes extension of the cervical and thoracic spine. When the upper fibers contract, the scapula and clavicle (humeral girdle) rise upward, while the scapula turns laterally with its lower corner. With a fixed scapula (other muscles), the upper tufts of the trapezius muscle tend to deflect the head to their side.

Stair Muscles

Stair muscles - mm. Scalenii Raise upper ribs, acting as inspiratory muscles. With fixed ribs, contracting from both sides, they bend the cervical part of the spine, and with one-sided contraction - bend and turn it to their side.
