Chiropractic Treatment for Upper Back Pain in Washington DC

Since the discovery of chiropractic over a century ago, millions of people have found lasting relief for their upper back pain. Patients with this type of back pain experience:

• Tight, stiff muscles in the upper back, neck, and shoulders
• Dull, burning, or sharp pain in the affected area
• Weakness in the legs and arms
• Numbness and tingling in the extremities, chest, and abdomen
• Loss of bowel or bladder control, in extreme cases

Although there are many potential reasons for pain in the upper back, the most common causes include poor posture, disc injuries or irritation, scoliosis, or degenerative conditions. Treatment plans can vary depending on the reason for your upper back pain, but all include targeted chiropractic adjustments.

Chiropractic adjustments bring the spine back into proper alignment, which can help relieve the immediate symptoms of upper back pain. With nerve flow unblocked, the body can begin to heal itself. Strengthening your back muscles and improving posture are also important for achieving lasting relief, so your chiropractor may recommend at-home exercises and stretches as well.
