What Is Mid & Upper Back Pain?

Mid and upper back pain can occur anywhere from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. Unlike the lower back or neck, this part of the spine is naturally more stable. The vertebrae work closely with the ribs to protect vital organs such as the heart and lungs.

Because this region moves less, pain here is less common than lower back or neck pain. However, when symptoms develop, they can be persistent and uncomfortable.

Patients experiencing upper back and neck pain often describe tightness between the shoulder blades, difficulty rotating the torso, or aching that worsens after prolonged sitting.

Common Causes of Upper Back Pain

Several factors can contribute to mid and upper back pain. Overuse, muscular strain or injury to the muscles, ligaments and discs supporting the spine are frequent causes.

Poor posture - particularly during desk work or prolonged device use - can place sustained stress on the thoracic spine. Pressure on spinal nerves due to disc irritation may also contribute to discomfort.

Other possible causes include vertebral fractures, osteoarthritis affecting the facet joints, or myofascial pain impacting connective tissue surrounding muscles.

If symptoms persist, assessment by a chiropractor for upper back pain ensures that the underlying cause is identified before treatment begins.

How Chiropractic Treatment Helps
