What is the muscle at the back of the neck called

There are more muscles in the back of the neck, and the most commonly seen muscle is the cervicalis brevis on both sides of the neck, which is the muscle most likely to cause cervical pain. There are also trapezius muscles at the back of the neck and sternocleidomastoid muscles on both sides of the neck. The stiffness and spasm of these muscles can cause cervical pain in patients and can be diagnosed as cervical cervical spondylosis. In daily life, patients should pay attention to protecting their cervical spine and avoiding cold in the muscles at the back of the neck. Because cervical spine pain caused by cold is a very common cause, and the recurrence rate is high, there is no way to completely cure, so in daily life must pay attention to the warmth of the neck.
