Mid Back Pain

Mid-back pain can 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 can differentiate between these causes, and appropriate treatment can be prescribed. Mid-back pain often responds well to chiropractic care consisting of manipulation, physiotherapy, and exercises. Muscle imbalances may be found in the mid-back, and a proper exercise program that targets the appropriate muscles is very helpful in relieving symptoms and preventing re-injury.
