Yes, not only can a chiropractor diagnose and treat upper trapezius pain, it’s something they do every single day. Since chiropractors have so much exposure to it, they’re experts at treating upper trapezius muscular pain effectively.
Your Trigger Points Might be Causing Your Pain!
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M62. 838 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M62.

ICD-10-CM Code for Muscle spasm M62. 83.
The trapezius is a muscle that starts at the base of your neck, goes across your shoulders and extends to the middle of your back. The trapezius (traps muscle) helps you move your head, neck, arms, shoulders and torso. It also stabilizes your spine and helps with posture.

511 – Pain in Right Shoulder. Code M25. 511 is the diagnosis code used for Pain in Right Shoulder.
The trapezius is one of the broadest and most superficial (closest to the skin) muscles of the upper back and trunk, meaning upon dissection of a cadaver it is often used as a landmark because it is encountered first. This muscle is triangular, broad, and thin and covers the upper back of the shoulders and neck.
Symptoms of a torn or strained or torn trapezius Muscles spasms. Soreness, aching, or burning sensations. Swelling and possible headaches These symptoms may worsen with activity. Decreased range of motion in the shoulders or neck.
The trapezius is a muscle in the upper back. It is large and triangular, extending to the width of the shoulders and running from the skull to the thoracic spine, in the middle of the back.
Your muscles depend on minerals, like potassium and magnesium, to work properly. If you're running low on them, your body sends you a message with cramps and spasms. Exercise or heavy sweating can deplete you, but some medications can, too. You might also lose too many electrolytes after a bout of diarrhea or vomiting.
Spasticity is a condition in which muscles stiffen or tighten, preventing normal fluid movement. The muscles remain contracted and resist being stretched, thus affecting movement, speech and gait.
"Fasciculations occur when innervation from the peripheral nervous system to the muscle is not working correctly and a muscle is triggered involuntarily, causing it to twitch," says Dr. Ondo. "This is very common and these fasciculations usually go unnoticed, but in some cases, people do feel the muscle twitch."
R25. 2 - Cramp and spasm. ICD-10-CM.
Clinical Information. A sudden contraction of a muscle or group of muscles, such as a cramp. A sudden, violent, involuntary contraction of a muscle or a group of muscles, attended by pain and interference with function, producing involuntary movement and distortion.

ICD-9-CM 728.85 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 728.85 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).

Some common causes of muscle spasms are overuse or overstimulation, caffeine overdose, tourettes syndrome, and huntington’s disease.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
728.85 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of spasm of muscle. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
See Also - A "see also" instruction following a main term in the Alphabetic Index instructs that there is another main term that may also be referenced that may provide additional Alphabetic Index entries that may be useful. It is not necessary to follow the "see also" note when the original main term provides the necessary code.
Inclusion terms - List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
Type 1 Excludes Notes - A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
Muscle cramps are sudden, involuntary contractions or spasms in one or more of your muscles. They often occur after exercise or at night, lasting a few seconds to several minutes. It is a very common muscle problem.
Cramps can be very painful. Stretching or gently massaging the muscle can relieve this pain.
M62.838 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other muscle spasm. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Muscle weakness or myasthenia (my- from Greek μυο meaning "muscle" + -asthenia ἀσθένεια meaning "weakness") is a lack of muscle strength. The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy. It occurs in neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis. Muscle weakness can also be caused by low levels of potassium and other electrolytes within muscle cells.
