Upper Back Pain Health Center
Because the upper back/thoracic spine area of the spinal column has a great deal of stability and only limited movement, it is far less common than its lower back pain and neck pain counterparts. However, when upper back pain does occur, it can cause significant discomfort. Muscular irritation (myofascial pain) and joint dysfunction are often the culprits of upper back pain. Because of its nature, the upper back responds best to manual treatments such as exercise, chiropractic manipulation, massage therapy, or accupuncture.
