Is trapezius pain a sign of cervical spondylosis?

Pain in the trapezius muscle may be caused by cervical spondylosis. Both cervical spondylosis and periarthritis of the shoulder can lead to trapezius pain. It is important to avoid prolonged periods of head-down posture and to pay attention to other symptoms associated with cervical spondylosis. Typically, cervical spondylosis does not only cause trapezius pain, but also discomfort in areas such as the枕部 (back of the head), neck, and shoulders. Patients are advised to seek timely medical attention at a hospital if symptoms become severe.
