🤕 What Does Upper & Mid Back Pain Feel Like?

Pain in this region can show up in many forms:

  • Stiffness or pressure across the upper back

  • Deep aching pain between the shoulder blades

  • Discomfort when breathing deeply or twisting

  • Postural fatigue — especially after sitting or standing

  • Sharp or pinching sensations with certain movements

  • Knots that keep coming back, even after massage

Our team is trained to identify the root cause of your pain and build a plan around your body, not just your symptoms.

💡 When Should You See a Chiropractor?

You don’t need to wait for serious pain to get care. Chiropractic can help if:

  • You feel tight, tense, or “locked up” between your shoulders

  • Massage only gives you temporary relief

  • Your posture feels harder to maintain over time

  • Breathing deeply or rotating your torso feels restricted

  • You want long-term solutions, not short-term fixes
