Mid-Back Pain

Understanding and Managing Mid-Back Pain at MCR Chiropractic

Mid-back pain, which affects the area between the neck and the lower back, is a common ailment that can disrupt daily activities and overall quality of life. At MCR Chiropractic, we specialize in treating mid-back pain through a personalized approach that relieves pain and addresses the underlying causes to prevent the future recurrence of symptoms.

Symptoms of mid-back pain can vary significantly, but commonly include:
  • Sharp or dull pain in the mid-back near your shoulder blades
  • Stiffness and reduced mobility in the mid-back
  • Muscle spasms
  • Pain when breathing or coughing

These symptoms can often be debilitating, making it essential to seek effective treatment.

Your treatment will begin with a detailed evaluation, including a medical history review, physical examination, and review of any imaging tests you may have received. This thorough assessment helps us understand the specific nature of your mid-back pain and develop a personalized treatment plan that follows our three-phase care approach:

  • Intensive Care: The first phase focuses on immediate pain relief. Techniques like spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapy reduce discomfort and stabilize the area.
  • Corrective Care: Once your pain is managed, the next step is addressing the root causes of your mid-back pain. This phase includes a combination of chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and posture correction to realign your spine and strengthen supporting muscles.
  • Wellness Care: The final phase is designed to maintain spine health and prevent future issues. Regular follow-up visits and continuous lifestyle advice ensure long-term health and mobility.
Our treatment plans for mid-back pain are tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient and may include the following:
  • Chiropractic Adjustments: This technique corrects spinal misalignments and reduces nerve pressure, alleviating pain and improving function.
  • Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques such as trigger point therapy, dry needling, or myofascial release help to relax tight muscles and enhance circulation, promoting healing in the affected area. They may also include E-stim, and cupping.
  • Rehabilitative Exercises: Targeted exercises strengthen the muscles around the spine, improve posture, and support the mid-back.
  • Lifestyle Adjustments: We guide you on modifying your daily activities and work environment to reduce strain on your mid-back, helping you maintain an active lifestyle.
