Upper Back Pain and Chiropractic Care in Bellmore, NY

Understanding Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain can affect people of all ages. Dr. Dana "ChiroMom" Walters in Bellmore, NY provides professional chiropractic care for upper back pain relief. Here's why you should see a chiropractor if you experience this condition.

Common Causes of Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain is a generalized term for pain along the spine, located between the base of the neck and the bottom of the rib cage. Common sources include:

• Strain, Overuse, or Injury: Muscle injuries or repetitive-use injuries to the muscles and ligaments supporting the upper spine.
• Poor Posture: Sitting at a desk with poor posture can lead to back pain.
• Spinal Problems or Fractures: Herniated discs or cracked vertebrae can cause significant pain.
• Osteoarthritis: Arthritis can deteriorate cartilage supporting spinal joints.
• Myofascial Pain: This impacts the muscle tissues supporting the spine.

Diagnosing Upper Back Pain

During your first appointment, Dr. Walters will review your medical history and ask about specific incidents or injuries, the type of work you do, and other relevant details. You may need X-rays to identify spinal misalignments or injuries causing your pain. Dr. Walters will use this information to diagnose the source of your pain accurately.

Chiropractic Treatments for Upper Back Pain

Dr. Walters provides customized care plans based on your age and diagnosis. Treatments for upper back pain include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to realign spinal joints and relieve pressure on nerves and muscles.
• Specialized chiropractic massage to ease muscle tension.
• Trigger point therapy to alleviate areas of adhesion and tension.
• Corrective exercises, postural re-training, and ergonomic education for long-term relief and chronic upper back pain management.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Receiving care from a chiropractor is not a "one size fits all" solution. Dr. Walters will craft a customized care plan for you, based on your age and the diagnosis of what is causing your upper back pain. The course of treatment for someone who was injured in a car accident may be very different from the treatment plan of someone who injured their back due to bad posture, and so on.
