Neck Pain - Trapezius

Neck pain is very commonly shown by most people to be in the region of the back of the neck and between the base of the neck to the shoulder, primarily indicating the region of the trapezius muscle. Trapezius is a big diamond shaped muscle with 3 parts: the upper, middle and lower portions. Trapezius forms the slope of the shoulder. It arises from the back of the skull and from the spines of the C7 to T2 vertebrae. It attaches to the outer one third of the collarbone and acromion and the spine of the shoulder blade. It receives nerve supply from the accessory nerve and the C1 to C4 cervical nerve roots.

Lower Back Pain - Foot Weakness

When foot and ankle weakness accompanies lower back pain, a neurosurgical opinion must be promptly sought for. The muscles responsible for picking up the foot and ankle are the muscles in the front of the leg. These muscles are supplied by the peroneal nerve and the main nerve root in these muscles is the L5 nerve root. Therefore in injuries to the L5 nerve root, these muscles will be weak such that there may be a foot or toe drag due to weakness or a complete foot drop.

Lower Back Pain Hip Pain Gluteus Medius

A person with lower back pain or hip pain often will limp with a lurch over to the side of the weight supporting limb every time he/she takes a step. This sign called the Trendelenburg sign is due either to pain and or weakness of the gluteus medius muscle. This duck waddle type of gait is characteristic of this muscle’s inability to function well. Gluteus medius arises from the outer surface of the pelvic bone called the iliac bone and attaches to the outer part of the hip. Its function is to spread the thigh outward away from the midline (abduction). This muscle receives very strong nerve supply from the L5 nerve root via the superior gluteal nerve. Since L5 nerve root is the most commonly injured nerve root, weakness and/or pain in the gluteus medius is common.
