Common Causes
What Causes Upper Back Pain?
Numerous things can lead to upper back pain. Some of the more common causes include:
Traumatic Injury
A sudden accident or impact can damage the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the upper back.
Poor Posture
Slouching and prolonged sitting place extra strain on the upper back and surrounding muscles.
Improper Lifting
Lifting heavy objects with poor technique can strain the upper back and lead to lasting pain.
Overuse
Repetitive motions and overexertion can inflame and fatigue the muscles supporting your spine.
Arthritis
Arthritis can cause inflammation and stiffness in the joints of the upper back.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc can irritate nearby nerves and result in upper back pain.
Compression Fracture
A compression fracture in the spine can be a source of significant upper back pain.
Determining the source of your upper back pain is the first step in determining a path toward relief.
Don't Wait
When to Seek Care for Upper Back Pain
Some minor cases of upper back pain will cease after a few days of self-care. However, if your back pain lingers or is severe enough to prevent normal activities, it’s time to book an appointment with a chiropractor at Chiro-Med Health & Wellness Centers. Left untreated, upper back pain can become chronic and lead to long-term immobility.
It’s also important to note that living with upper back pain can keep you from embracing an active and healthy lifestyle. This can bring on a cascade of negative health outcomes. Working with a spine specialist is a great way to prevent future pain and permanently improve your health.
