What is Upper Back Pain?

Upper back pain is pain felt in the upper back area. This is less common than lower back pain since you are not carrying as much of your body's weight at the lower part of your back and body. Upper back pain can still become an issue that can negatively impact your work and daily life if not treated.

What Causes Upper Back Pain?

There can be many causes of upper back pain. Causes of upper back pain may include muscle injuries, muscle strain, poor posture, osteoarthritis, a pinched nerve, gallbladder issues, a fractured vertebra, Myofascial pain syndrome, or a herniated disc. 

You are also more likely to develop upper back pain if you are overweight, in your 30s, 40s, or older, a smoker, you are not in shape, and have other health conditions such as cancer or arthritis. 

What are the Symptoms?

There are several symptoms of upper back pain. Symptoms include sharp pain, stiffness, burning pain, and aching pain. Other serious symptoms include lack of bladder or bowel control, weakness in your legs or arms, and numbness or tingling in your legs, arms, belly, or chest. 

If you have any of the more serious symptoms above, please contact a chiropractor or other health professional to get immediate help.
