How can upper back pain occur? Who is susceptible?
 
Upper back pain is a musculoskeletal condition that effects a wide array of people. Most commonly, we think of upper back pain being caused by physically intense activities such as those undertaken by athletes, bodybuilders and construction workers. However, upper back pain can also result from sedentary activities such as those taken on by office workers, truckers and drivers. Essentially, repetitive activities that are done for a long period of time can result in upper back pain; it doesn’t necessarily have to be an activity that is physically intense or exhaustive.

The upper back can be a complicated area of pain and injury as it involves many intricate bones and muscles that are involved in mobility and stability of the respective area. It is important to understand the physiological structure of the upper back in order avoid injury.
 
Physiological Structure of the Upper Back 

The mid and upper back cover the area of the thoracic spine. The thoracic spine makes up half of the vertebrae in the spine (12 out of 24 bones in the spine). The picture below provides a detailed composition of the upper back:

​Symptoms of Upper Back Pain
 
  • Throbbing, Sharp or Radiating Pain
  • Stiffness
  • Tingling, Numbness or General Weakness
 
Common Causes of Upper Back Pain
 
  • Injury, Accident or Collision
  • Overuse or Repetitive use of Upper Back Muscles
  • Improper Lifting or Bending Technique
  • Poor Posture
 
How can Chiropractic relieve symptoms of upper back pain?

The benefit of implementing chiropractic treatment to relieve upper back pain is that it is a non-invasive method of treatment and does not require any medication that may cause side effects or risk of addiction. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce joint restrictions and misalignments within the upper back, which in turn will reduce inflammation; improve nervous system health; and increase mobility.
 
Summary of Chiropractic treatment to the Upper back include:

  • Decreased pain and discomfort
  • Reduced Inflammation
  • Increased range of motion
  • Improved nervous system health
  • Improved flexibility
  • Increased muscle strength

Do You sufferer from digestive problems?

A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT MAY BE THE SOLUTION?

Picture
I have good news for those that suffer from stomach ailments. The good news is that chiropractic & acupuncture can help reduce stomach ailments such as indigestion, acid reflux and excessive gas.

What is the science behind this you ask?

​There are certain nerves that run through the spine which control the production of stomach acid and when these nerves fall out of alignment, they can result in excessive production of stomach acid. The excessive production of stomach acid can lead to various forms of stomach ailments. 


A chiropractor is able to adjust the spine so that the nerves align and begin to work properly. This ultimately leads to the elimination of various digestive problems. Likewise, acupressure and acupuncture may also relieve digestive problems by applying pressure or acupuncture needles to specific points on the abdominal region.
​
At DRS Physio & Wellness we have skilled Chiropractors and Acupuncturists that have many years of experience with individuals with digestive problems. Come see our practitioners today and feel better tomorrow.

Chiropractic can Relieve Arthritis Pain

​Are you looking for non-invasive and pharmaceutical-free treatment for your arthritis pain? Chiropractic may be your best option.

Chiropractors are mostly known for treating the spine and back; they’re not commonly known for treating the joints and muscles. The good news is that Chiropractic is rapidly becoming a well-known and beneficial treatment for joints and muscles. Arthritis sufferers rejoice!

 Don’t be Scared. Chiropractor’s don’t Just “Crack” Bones.

Chiropractor’s do much more than just adjustments. In fact, there are over 150 chiropractic techniques used to manipulate the joints, spine and muscles. For those suffering from Arthritis, chiropractors can relieve pain by gently manipulating your soft tissue to stop muscle spasms and relieve tenderness.

Chiropractors Offer Adjustments Plus More

  • Ultrasound: People think of ultrasound as imaging technology, but when applied to soft tissues and joints, sound waves can also produce a massaging effect that helps reduce swelling and decrease pain and stiffness.
 
  • Electrotherapy: These tiny electric pulses are not painful. They treat soft tissue injuries by stimulating nerves and muscles.
 
  • Low-level laser or “cold laser”: This technique uses a non-heat-producing laser or light that penetrates deep into the tissue, sometimes reducing inflammation.
 
  • Infrared sauna: Imagine having a hot compress warm up your joints from the inside. These rooms use controlled amounts of heat to relieve pain and increase circulation.
 
The Rich and Famous are Reaping the Benefits of Chiropractic for Arthritis Pain

“My chiropractor used gentle flexing movements (which she called “fluffing”) to keep my joints mobile and to keep the blood flow moving to the cartilage around joints. This approach has brought me back to a state of full integrated healing and strength. Taking a pill to further suppress the immune system to relieve rheumatoid arthritis is not what I would ever recommend or do for myself.”
