The upper back or the thoracic spine is the most complex region of the spine. It is tasked to protect the spinal cord and anchor and support the rib cage to protect the heart and lungs.

Unfortunately, its protective potential is severely threatened by our modern way of life that incorporates two of the most damaging habits for spinal well-being: the prolonged sitting and the lack of physical activity. The consequences are poor posture and various types of spinal and skeleton discomfort, with the upper back pain being one of the most frequent ones.

For the best long-term results, a fundamental lifestyle change is mandatory. However, this takes time and effort, and upper back pain issues cannot wait.  Luckily, there is a non-invasive chiropractic adjustment therapy, which is particularly effective in reducing upper back pain. This therapy improves the nervous system’s function and reduces joint inflammation, providing comfort to your upper back area.

The effects of chiropractic adjustment are instantly visible. Combined with a change of lifestyle and regular exercise, the upper back issues can be eliminated for good.
