UPPER BACK PAIN

Although upper back pain is not a very common spinal disorder, it can cause significant discomfort and pain when it does occur. The most common causes of upper back pain are muscular irritation (myofascial pain) and joint dysfunction. There can be an injury to a disc in the upper back (such as a thoracic herniated disc or degenerated disc) that causes upper back pain, but such injuries are very rare.

Upper back pain can occur as a result of trauma or sudden injury, or it can occur through strain or poor posture over time. As an example of the latter cause, in recent years, upper back pain has become a familiar complaint from people who work at computers most of the day. Often, upper back pain occurs along with neck pain and/or shoulder pain.

Common causes of upper back pain

  • Prolapsed / Bulged Thoracic Disc
  • Thoracic Facet Joint Pain
  • Thoracic Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Upper Back Muscle Strain
  • Scheuermann’s Disease
