Middle Back Pain

Many individuals seeking chiropractic care for middle and upper back pain describe a constant, nagging ache, particularly between the shoulder blades. Unlike the neck and lower back, the mid-back’s limited flexibility, due to the ribcage’s structure, makes self-stretching challenging.

Common Culprits and Effective Solutions:

Often, postural imbalances are the primary drivers of mid-back pain. This discomfort frequently intensifies after prolonged sitting, especially for those who spend extended periods at computers. Our approach emphasizes postural correction, ergonomic adjustments, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate these issues.

However, we recognize that some cases are more complex. Conditions such as scoliosis or hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back) can contribute to significant pain. Our corrective chiropractic care, including specialized exercises and traction techniques, aims to address these structural challenges. In severe cases, we may recommend bracing to support and stabilize the spine.
