Tension Shoulder Pain
Description
Tension shoulder pain—often called chronic shoulder tightness, upper trapezius pain, tech neck, or muscle knots—is a long-lasting discomfort caused by overactive trapezius muscles in the upper back and neck. People with this common problem may notice constant stiffness, soreness, or aching around the shoulders, neck, or between the shoulder blades, sometimes making everyday movements and lifting difficult. This nagging pain is frequently linked to poor posture, stress, muscle overuse, or spending long hours at computers and mobile devices. Persistent tension shoulder pain can also be described as myofascial pain syndrome, muscle spasms, or pulled trapezius, and may trigger headaches or tenderness in the neck and upper back. Finding relief often involves targeted treatments and a focus on posture, stress management, and muscle care for lasting comfort.
