What is Pain in the Upper Back?                                                                                               

The upper back is perfectly engineered to support the ribs, sternum, vital organs and the vertebrae below, also known as the thoracic spine. Although fairly rare, upper back pain can cause serious discomfort and is usually caused by irritation of the muscles and/or joints or poor posture. In fact, half of all working Americans confess to experiencing signs of back pain over the year, possibly caused by sitting inappropriately at a desk while working.

How does Upper Back Pressure Benefit Patients with Chiropractic Care?                                                                                               

A better way to treat and alleviate swelling and discomfort caused by upper back pain might be chiropractic treatment. Routine chiropractic therapy offers upper back pain relief to patients who are a convenient, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to generic or over-the-counter pain drugs (OTCs), which are typically administered to patients to help them relieve their pain and swelling.                                               

A gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment, known as chiropractic correction, is offered by chiropractors. In an attempt to minimize pain and enhance the function of both the injured joint and the nervous system, chiropractic changes reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. Your body has the potential to help control symptoms caused by upper back pain by increasing joint stability and enhancing the nervous system function and spinal health.

Many of the health advantages that chiropractic treatment and chiropractic changes will have for upper back pain patients as below:

• Decreased pain and discomfort
• Reduced inflammation
• Increased motion spectrum
• Increased versatility
• Increased tone and strength of muscles
