Symptoms
Back of Neck Pain
Stiffness, limited rotation and aching at the base of the neck — most often non-specific and muscular in origin.
Overview
Most acute and chronic neck pain is non-specific. Active trigger points in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, SCM and scalenes are common contributors. Identifying which muscle reproduces the patient's familiar pain guides treatment.
