Upper Back Pain Chiropractor Coconut Creek FL

Most people who sit at desks for long periods suffer from upper back pain. Although it’s still not as common as lower back pain, upper back pain can be just as painful. Poor posture, ergonomics, and injury through trauma are major causes of upper back pain. Long-lasting relief from upper back pain is achievable, and Dr. Barnard knows precisely what to do.

There are many causes of upper back pain, but the most common reason is due to technology. We live in a tech world, and sitting in front of a computer, tablet, or phone causes stress to the upper back. The medical community developed a “tech neck” or “text neck” diagnosis. Our team knows this and has helped thousands of people get out of pain and stay out of pain. Here are the most common causes of upper back pain:

Poor ergonomics and posture

If you are ever standing in a line, look around and see what everyone is doing with their phones. You can see how bad everyone’s posture is, and this causes upper back pain. Combined with poor ergonomics at work, you have a recipe for disaster.

Soft tissue injuries

These types of injuries often occur from whiplash. Soft tissue injuries occur most often from a car accident. Getting treated immediately after a car accident is crucial because these injuries don’t show up immediately. 

Subluxations

Subluxations are when a misalignment in your spine puts pressure on the nerves. This pressure on the nerves causes problems wherever the nerves go. Dr. Barnard knows how to locate and remove them.
