Common Causes
- Injury or Accident: Common causes of pain in the upper back include injuries sustained from slips and falls, falls off of ladders or down stairs, and sports collisions. Bike crashes and auto accidents are also common causes of upper back issues as they can injure ligaments, nerves, soft tissue, and discs.
- Poor Posture: People who have sedentary lifestyles or those who sit for long periods with poor posture are frequently subject to upper back issues. This is especially common for workers with desk jobs.
- Overuse: Overusing the muscles in your upper back can lead to inflammation, muscle strains, and ligament strains.
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a condition that affects many of Americans. Osteoarthritis causes the bones to become weak and brittle and can lead to pain throughout the body, especially the spine.
- Herniated Discs: Although herniated discs can affect the upper back, causing extreme pain. Herniated discs can also lead to pinched nerves.
How Can a Chiropractor Help
Don’t let back pain prevent you from doing the things you love. Our staff will perform a thorough examination of your upper back issues. We’ll discuss the results and develop an individualized care plan.
Our treatment plan typically consists of a three-step process:
- Relief care: The goal of our relief care is to reduce pain. Depending on your specific injury, we might have you come in twice a week, three times a week. Whatever is needed until the pain has subsided.
- Corrective care: Once the pain is reduced, we’ll move to the corrective/restorative phase of your treatment plan. Adjustments will be performed less frequently, and we may recommend stretching and exercises.
- Wellness care: Once the pain is gone, we can help you develop a wellness care plan that consists of a nutrition plan and exercise program.
