Edit What Is the Trapezius Muscle?
Main Text
<div><em>The trapezius muscle is a large, superficial muscle that stretches from the back of the skull along the spine to the lower thoracic vertebrae and extends laterally to the shoulder blade. It is responsible for many shoulder and neck movements, including lifting and stabilizing the shoulders, as well as maintaining a proper posture.</em></div> <div> </div> <div><strong>How can muscle relaxing injections be used in the trapezius muscle?</strong></div> <div> </div> <div><em>The use of muscle relaxing injections in the trapezius muscle aims to alleviate chronic pain, particularly in conditions like chronic neck pain, tension headaches, and myofascial pain syndrome. Muscle relaxing injections block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions, at the neuromuscular junction. By doing so, it temporarily paralyzes the trapezius muscle, subsequently reducing muscle tension and stiffness.</em></div> <div> </div>
