Trapezius dorsi muscle. Features photos, where he was, what if the pain, spasm, exercise, relaxation

Trapezius muscles - the upper part of the card back. It is in the middle of the blades and the back of the neck. Its base is directed towards the spine, and the island is part of the scapula bone in the area. Trapezius muscle has paired structure: it runs on both sides of the back and is a trapezoid shape. This explains its name.

What does the trapezius dorsi?

The main functions of the trapezius muscle includes:

• mixing and dilution of the blades;
• stabilization of the cervical spine;
• extension of the neck;
• raising and lowering the top of the clavicle and scapula;
• raising and lowering of the hands;
• the lateral extension and flexion of the head and neck;
• turning the head to the opposite side.

Danger intense muscle condition

When excessive muscle tension, sharp movements nature, cold exposure, and the presence of other negative factors reflex provoked by voltage clamping. Such a condition entails compression and compression of the intervertebral discs. In some cases, there is their protrusion that facilitates compression of the nerve roots.

What is a muscle spasm, pain character, which pays?

Spasm - the protective function of the body. It contributes to compression of nerve fibers and blood vessels that disrupts tissue nutrition. When excessive back tension provoked by the curvature of the spinal column. It causes pain in the internal organs. At a constant voltage of the neck muscles deteriorating quality of vision due to compression of the nerve endings in the eyes.

Long spasms provoke hypoxia of the affected area, that provokes the subsequent necrosis, apoptosis, and even death. There is a development trigger the syndrome. Muscle spasm is characterized by sudden acute abrupt onset.

Sometimes it is caused by a bad movement. For example, there is a heavy object when lowering or turning sideways body. Most often, the spasm is shown on the next day after the implementation of the work in an uncomfortable position. Spasms in the dorsal section extend to the edges and are manifested in the form of intercostal neuralgia.

Causes

The causes of back muscle spasm could be different.

The basic include:

• exhaustion of physical nature;
• stretching;
• trauma;
• stress;
• mental illness;
• loss of body fluids;
• inadequate calcium content in the body;
• a diet low in carbohydrates.

Fatigue and muscle tension

Trapezius dorsi muscle strains and an uncomfortable position in which the person resides for a long time. As a result of inhibition provoked by processes of the nervous system. The muscles are not able to spontaneously relax, because of the nerve centers that control the activity does not stop impulses to act. The fibers are compressed, causing pain.

medication

Some drugs promote sodium retention and potassium excretion from the body. With prolonged use of high doses of steroid series means a person has muscle spasms. Potassium removal from organism contributes Furosemide, Lasix and other diuretics.

Damage to body tissues involves the appearance of pain. In response to the pain there is tension in the muscles. Muscle tissue acts as an insulator injured area, stopping inflammation in damaged tissues.

injuries

If a spinal injury is triggered by rupture of ligaments. Tightening the muscles of the spine, which provokes a spasm and tension.

disease

Muscle contraction spastic character describes a number of diseases.

These include:

• low back pain;
• intervertebral hernia;
• curvature of the spine.

Osteochondrosis involves pathological changes in the joints. When expansion joints are violated unequal fibers, which leads to pain. It provokes spasms. This entails the appearance of scoliosis and osteoporosis. A herniated disc between vertebrae involves the ring gap in the spinal column.

Gelatinous body penetrates beyond their usual location and provokes a sharp pain when the infringement of the roots of the spinal cord.

At the same time it manifested spasmodic contraction of the affected area. Muscle spasm is capable of provoking the curvature of the spinal column. Violation of the stability of scoliosis is due to curvature of the spine to the side muscles that contract.

Stress

Stressful situation mobilizes the resources of the human body. Voltage emotional sphere causes increased release of thyroid hormones, which leads to nervous exhaustion. Provoked cramps and spasms in the back muscles.

With long-term exposure to stress can cause changes in the brain and spinal cord morphology. This explains the development of the nervous tic that accompanies the nervous shock.

fluid loss

Trapezius dorsi suffers under heavy loads of a physical nature, are accompanied by an increased release of sweat. The balance of minerals in the body is broken, which leads to health problems. Together with the sweat excreted sodium and potassium is displayed. Process adversely affect standing muscle. As a result provoked a spasm.

Lack of calcium

Decreasing the level of calcium causes reduction in the intracellular fluid in muscles and nerve fibers. Nerve endings are experiencing increased irritation. transmission of nerve impulses violation does not relax the muscle fibers.

carbohydrates

The negative impact of having a diet low in carbohydrates. Such a diet also causes muscle spasm.

additional reasons

Trapezius muscles may be stressed position and epilepsy. This pathology is characterized by seizures that are triggered by nervous exhaustion. Fit characterizes the uncontrolled activity of muscles of the body, including in the area of ​​the back.

Spasms of the back muscles can cause and childbirth. Such pain is sometimes disturbed life. Also, the pathology may be a consequence of an epidural. Occurs is due to hit the cerebral fluid into the epidural space. As a result of damaged spinal cord.

• pain disturb for 3 days;
• It felt stiffness in the muscles;
• in the back felt numbness or tingling;
• develop asthenic condition.
