Causes of Upper Back Pain
There are a wide range of causes for upper back pain, which can lead to severe or mild back pain that lasts just a short time, or that can last for months! Potential causes include:
- Muscle strains of the upper back muscles due to pulled muscles
- Muscle tension and inflammation due to stress can also lead to neck pain and headaches
- Spinal misalignment and prior auto accident injuries, such as whiplash, which can cause surrounding nerves and tissues to become compressed
- Herniated and bulging discs, which compress on surrounding nerves and tissues due to a misplaced or completely ruptured disc between the vertebrae
Because there are so many causes of upper back pain, it's important to visit a family chiropractor for the best treatment options.
