Upper Back Tightness Got You Knotted Up? Find Natural Relief and Unwind with Chiropractic Care!
Do you feel a constant ache between your shoulder blades? Is tightness restricting your movement? You’re not alone. Upper-back pain and tightness are common complaints, often stemming from everyday stresses and postural habits.
Understanding the Tension
Common Causes of Upper Back Pain & Tightness
In today’s digital age, we spend countless hours hunched over screens. This prolonged poor posture weakens core muscles, strains the neck and shoulders, and compresses the spine, leading to chronic upper-back pain and tightness.
When certain muscle groups are overworked while others become weak, it disrupts the natural balance of your body. This can lead to muscle imbalances that pull on your spine, causing pain and stiffness.
Repetitive motions at work or during sports can put excessive stress on the muscles and joints in your upper back. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and limited range of motion.
When stressed, we often unconsciously tense up our muscles, including those in the upper back and shoulders. This chronic tension can lead to muscle tightness, headaches, and even difficulty breathing.
Accidents, falls, and even minor strains can cause damage to the muscles, ligaments, or joints in your upper back, leading to pain and limited mobility.
