Cervical spondylosis often causes pain in the trapezius muscle, which may generally manifest as abnormalities such as back and waist discomfort. Patients with cervical spine disease can use anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications. When experiencing trapezius muscle pain, it is important to determine whether other symptoms of cervical spine disorders are present. Typically, cervical spondylosis does not only lead to trapezius muscle pain.
