What is Upper Back Pain? The upper back, or thoracic spine, is a marvel of engineering designed to support the ribs, sternum, vital organs, and the vertebrae below. While it's less common than lower back pain, upper back pain can still significantly impact one's quality of life, often resulting from muscular or joint irritation, or poor posture. Remarkably, half of all working Americans report experiencing symptoms of back pain each year, many of which are related to poor ergonomic practices while sitting at a desk.

The Role of Chiropractic Care in Upper Back Pain Management Chiropractic care offers a promising solution for those struggling with upper back pain. Our approach at our clinic provides a safe, non-invasive, and non-addictive alternative to traditional pain relief methods, such as prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications, which are commonly used to alleviate pain and swelling.

Our chiropractic adjustments are gentle yet effective, focusing on reducing joint restrictions or spinal misalignments to lessen inflammation and enhance the function of both the affected joint and the nervous system. This holistic approach not only improves joint mobility but also boosts nervous system function and spinal health, enabling the body to more effectively manage the symptoms associated with upper back pain.
