Common Causes of Middle & Upper Back Pain
While there are many possible causes of back pain in between the shoulder blades, the most common are from physical trauma. Injuries to the thoracic spine can occur suddenly from an acute trauma or slowly accumulate over time. Traumas can include sports injuries, car accidents and even sleeping positions. Repetitive motions and/or static positions performed at work such as operating a vehicle or typing on a computer are very common sources of stiffness, tightness and sharp or dull/achy pain in the mid back.
Regardless of how the injury occurred, most upper back pain from trauma involves a pinched nerve from a misalignment in the thoracic spine. The misaligned vertebrae causes the disc to shift and herniate. The swollen disc irritates the spinal nerves, causing back pain, muscle spasms and even radiating pain (thoracic radiculopathy).
Real Relief From Upper Back Pain
If you want relief from a pinched in nerve in the upper back, you have to un-pinch it! The only professionals who are trained to correct pinched nerves in the spine are chiropractors. Chiropractic adjustments help realign vertebrae and treat bulged discs in the thoracic spine and are the most effective treatment for pain in between the shoulder blades and spasms, stiffness and tightness in the mid back.
Chiropractic treatment for upper and middle back pain is very safe and has no side effects. Sometimes physical therapy is combined with chiropractic for more complete recovery/muscle strengthening. If you suffer with tightness, stiffness or chronic pain in between your shoulder blades, call Dr. Levesque, DC in Abingdon, VA for the best evaluation and fastest relief possible.
