Middle back pain can be debilitating, limiting your mobility and even affecting your sleep. Without proper treatment, it may also become chronic. At Austin Chiropractic & Rehab, serving Austin, Pflugerville, and Manor, TX, we offer non-invasive treatments to relieve your aches and help you feel your best.
Causes of Middle Back Pain
Middle back pain can be caused by a variety of factors. Poor posture, repetitive movements, and lifting heavy objects improperly can strain the muscles and ligaments in this area. Other causes include herniated discs, spinal misalignments, and arthritis. Injuries from accidents or sports can also lead to pain in the middle back.
In some cases, poor ergonomics in the workplace, such as sitting for long periods or slouching at a desk, can put excessive pressure on the spine, contributing to discomfort.
Symptoms of Middle Back Pain
Common symptoms of middle back pain include a dull, aching pain or a sharp, stabbing sensation in the central region of the back. Some people experience tightness, stiffness, or a reduced range of motion. In severe cases, the pain may radiate to other areas of the body, including the chest or abdomen.
Treatment Options
There are several treatment options for middle back pain, depending on the severity and underlying cause. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments, as it focuses on spinal alignment and improving posture. Our chiropractor uses hands-on techniques, such as spinal adjustments, to alleviate tension the spine and surrounding muscles, providing relief from pain.
Another option for reducing middle back pain is spinal decompression. This non-invasive technique gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves. Spinal decompression can be especially helpful for individuals with herniated discs or degenerative disc disease, as it helps ease pain and promote healing.
In addition to adjustments and spinal decompression, we’ll guide you through stretches and exercises to prevent future discomfort and improve mobility.
