Upper Back Pain
Posted by: imers : Category: Back Pain
Upper back pains are not as common as lower back pains; they also do not have the host of causes that trigger lower back pain. But whenever they occur, they are equally painful in nature. Mainly two causes of upper back pain have been identified: muscular irritation in the myofascial region, a region comprising of neck and upper back; and joint dysfunction in this area. This could include an injury sustained by spinal discs in the upper back, but as evidence suggests, such injuries are rare, since this is the strongest and most stable portion of the spine and has no mobility at all. The thoracic region of the spinal column is referred to as the upper back.
