A member asked:
My trap has torn from insertion at c7, after a spinal surgery that went wrong. is it possible to repair this?

See below: I would think given time and rest, it would heal like most pulled or torn muscles. Depending on the extent, I guess it's possible you would need a surgical repair. I would see an orthopedist or sports medicine physician.
