Upper back pain can develop for several reasons, including muscle tension, joint stiffness, poor posture and nerve irritation. During your assessment, we’ll identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Many people experience upper back pain without one specific injury. This is often caused by muscle tension, reduced movement or irritation of the joints in the thoracic spine.
Common symptoms:
Long periods sitting at a desk or working with rounded shoulders can place extra strain on the muscles and joints of your upper back.
Common symptoms:
Muscle strains in the thoracic or shoulder blade (scapular) region, along with myofascial pain syndrome, can cause tight muscles and painful trigger points.
Common signs:
The joints connecting your ribs to your spine can become stiff or irritated, leading to pain during movement or deep breathing.
Common symptoms:
Sometimes pain felt in the upper back actually starts elsewhere. Referred neck pain, thoracic outlet syndrome and conditions such as Scheuermann’s disease (postural kyphosis) can all contribute to pain, stiffness and reduced movement.
Common symptoms:
Treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand what’s causing your symptoms. We’ll assess how your spine, muscles and joints move before creating a personalised treatment plan.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include osteopathy, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises and practical advice to improve posture, mobility and long-term recovery.
