Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain refers to any pain felt in the thoracic spine. The causes can be numerous and are sometimes difficult to pinpoint since the ache can gradually develop over time only to culminate in unbearable pain and limited movement.

Vitalis Physiotherapy takes a strategic approach to treatment and we tailor the healing process to the specifics of your case.

What causes upper back pain?

Pain in the upper and middle back can appear after a muscle strain and overuse, ligament injury and disc bulge or rupture. However, it can also occur as a consequence of poor posture while standing or sitting, after a physical strain or difficult exercise, uncomfortable sleeping position, etc.  In such cases, the pain develops slowly over time and is as such quite difficult to determine precisely.

If the pain becomes worse or turns into chronic pain (lasting longer than 3 months), we advise you to contact us on 0410 559 856 to get a full assessment and customised treatment plan. The best treatment involves exercises designed to relieve and strengthen included with relative rest.
