Understanding Trapezitis

Trapezitis is the inflammation of the trapezius muscle, one of the largest and most important muscles in the upper back and neck

What is Trapezitis?

The trapezius muscle is a large, triangular muscle that extends from the base of the skull to the mid-back and out to the shoulder blades. Trapezitis occurs when this muscle becomes inflamed, strained, or develops trigger points due to overuse, poor posture, or stress.

  • Upper Trapezius Strain - Affects the neck and shoulder area, commonly causing tension headaches and neck stiffness
  • Middle Trapezius Involvement - Causes pain between shoulder blades and upper back discomfort
  • Lower Trapezius Issues - Leads to mid-back pain and postural problems
  • Postural Stress - Prolonged sitting, computer work, and forward head posture strain the trapezius
  • Emotional Tension - Stress and anxiety cause involuntary trapezius muscle contraction and spasm
  • Acute Injury - Sudden movements, heavy lifting, or whiplash can traumatize the trapezius muscle

Trapezitis is often mistaken for other conditions, but proper diagnosis and targeted treatment can provide rapid relief.

Upper Back & Neck Pain

Dull, aching pain or sharp, burning sensation in the upper trapezius area, often worse with movement or prolonged sitting.

Tension Headaches

Headaches originating from the base of the skull, radiating to temples and behind eyes due to muscle tension.

Shoulder Stiffness

Trigger Points & Knots

Patient Success Story

Real results from our trapezitis treatment

"As a software developer, I spent 10-12 hours daily at my computer and developed severe trapezitis that caused constant neck pain, tension headaches, and shoulder stiffness. I had tried painkillers and massages with only temporary relief. After starting treatment at Spine-X, the difference has been incredible. The combination of targeted trigger point release, dry needling, and postural correction has eliminated my chronic pain. Dr. Zinzala also taught me simple stretches and ergonomic adjustments that I use throughout my workday. I'm now pain-free and can focus on my work without constant discomfort."
