Upper Back & Shoulder Pain

What is Back Pain?

Back pain is a common ailment for many Americans and it affects millions every year as a result of auto accidents, workplace, and sports-related injuries. With over 80% of the population experiencing back pain at some point in their life, people endure back pain in a number of areas—upper, middle, and lower back. While mild back pain can be resolved with rest or stretching,  more severe cases would require chiropractic treatment.

What causes Back Pain?

When nerves in the back become agitated, pinched, or enflamed, your discs can begin to bulge, causing intense back pain during exercise or while doing common tasks such as cleaning, bathing, or yard work. Unfortunately, conventional medicine tends to prescribe medication as a way to mask the symptoms, leaving back pain to recur once you stop taking it. Chiropractic treatment can target the source of the back pain, providing a better chance of relieving pain for good, without the need for long-term medication, healing the involved tissues and lessening the probability of recurrence—all this without the negative side effects of medication.
