Medically reviewed by Amy Kwan, PT Your latissimus dorsi (your "lats") is a broad, flat, triangle-shaped muscle that spans your middle and lower back and extends to the front of your humerus (upper arm bone).
The article from MSN discusses latissimus dorsi pain, detailing its symptoms, causes, and treatment options. The latissimus dorsi, a large muscle in the back, can cause pain due to overuse, strain, or injury, often from activities like swimming, rowing, or even improper lifting techniques. Symptoms include pain in the lower back, shoulder, or along the side of the torso, which might worsen with movement or specific activities. Causes can range from muscle strains, tears, or spasms to more chronic conditions like myofascial pain syndrome or referred pain from other areas. Treatment options vary from rest and ice application to more active interventions like physical therapy, which focuses on stretching and strengthening exercises to alleviate pain and prevent future injuries. Other treatments might include anti-inflammatory medications, massage therapy, or in severe cases, surgical intervention. The article emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment to manage and recover from latissimus dorsi pain effectively.
