Relating to or located in the back of the neck.
From Latin dorsum (back) + cervical (relating to the neck, from cervix = neck). Describes the posterior aspect of the cervical region. Used in neck anatomy and medicine.
The dorsocervical region is where your neck muscles attach to your upper back—this is why neck pain can radiate into your shoulders and why good posture matters so much!
