Upper Back Pain
springfield,illinois il
Upper back pain is most commonly caused by irritation or injury to the muscles and ligaments of the thoracic spine. The high incidence of poor postural habits, lack of adequate exercise and muscle conditioning, as well as the ever more popular "seated" lifestyles of Americans are all major contributors.
Chiropractors work hard to identify the exact problems of upper back pain so that only the safest and most effective treatments can be provided. Since the majority of upper back pain cases are caused by soft tissue problems or have a significant soft tissue component, hands on chiropractic treatments are extremely beneficial and have been shown to be superior to other forms of "back" care.
