Mid Back Pain
Midback pain is often described as "burning" in nature. The pain can also be dull or sharp, intermittent or constant. Some common
causes include: scoliosis, poor posture, repetitive movements, misalignment of the vertebrae and/or ribs, and strained muscles.
A thorough examination will differentiate between these causes, and appropriate treatment will be rendered. Midback pain often
responds well to chiropractic care consisting of
spinal manipulation,
physiotherapy, and
therapeutic exercises. Also, the
chiropractor may arrange for on-site (Chicago Office) evaluation of your workout routine and/or workplace to correct improper
ergonomic conditions, which may be aggravating your condition. Muscle imbalances can be found in the midback, and a proper
exercise program that targets the appropriate muscles is very helpful in relieving symptoms and preventing reinjury.
