FAQ Upper Back Pain

Who should I see for upper back pain?

Chiropractors are specialists at treating spinal injuries. If you are experiencing upper back pain you should be examined by a chiropractor to find and correct the cause of your upper back pain.

How can I relieve upper back pain?

Your upper back pain can be relieved once the cause of the pain is identified and a treatment plan has been recommended to treat your injury. Chiropractors are specialists in diagnosing and treating upper back pain conservatively.

Will upper back pain go away?

Your upper back pain may go away within a few days or weeks but the cause of your upper back pain may not be resolved. If left untreated, upper back pain that is caused by a subluxation (sprained joint) will progress into osteoarthritis.

What causes upper back pain between the shoulder blades?

The most common cause of upper back pain between the shoulder blades is a subluxation (sprained joint that injures a nerve). When a subluxation occurs the surrounding muscles will go into spasm as a way to protect the injured area.

Can upper back pain cause chest pain?

Yes, upper back pain can cause chest pain. The nerves that exit from the upper back wrap around the ribcage and travel to the chest. If these nerves are injured it is common for people to experience chest pain.

Can upper back pain cause headaches?

Yes, upper back pain can cause headaches. Usually occurs when the muscles of the upper back and neck tighten or spasm causing a tension headache. These headaches may not resolve without first correcting the underlying problem in the upper back.

Can upper back pain cause nausea or stomach pain?

Yes, back pain and nausea can co-exist and both are likely caused by the same condition. The nerves that control the stomach travel to and from the mid-back as they enter and exit the spinal cord. You can experience upper back pain and nausea when a subluxation (misalignment vertebra) in the mid-back irritates the nerves that travel to the stomach.
