is a pain treatment and pain management centre at the forefront of
advanced pain therapies for upper back pain and upper back surgery.
Pain in the upper or mid
back obviously come from trigger points in the muscles of the back
itself. These muscles in the back include the erector spinae,
multifidi, trapezius, infraspinatus, subscapularis, serratus
posterior superior, rhomboids, latissimus dorsi and serratus
posterior inferior.
Upper back pain is not a very common spinal disorder. Upper
back pain can cause significant discomfort and pain when it does
occur and the pain can be managed and cured. The most common causes
of upper back pain are muscular irritation (myofascial pain) and
joint dysfunction.
When dealing with back pain
and back injuries, relief and support products can become extremely
important to the healing process. Delaying back pain treatment can
lead to further injury and eventually become what is known as
chronic back pain. Chronic back pain is much more difficult to
treat, as it has occurred for over six months and has likely lead to
inactivity and dysfunction of the spine
In many cases back surgery
is not necessary and can be treated with noninvasive techniques.
