Upper Back Pain in Ann Arbor, MI
Upper back pain between your shoulder blades creates unique challenges—it's harder to reach for self-care, often related to breathing mechanics and rib function, and frequently caused by postural stress from desk work and forward head position. That constant ache, burning sensation, or sharp pain when you breathe deeply affects work productivity, sleep comfort, and even your breathing efficiency. Many doctors dismiss upper back pain as muscle tension, offering muscle relaxants without investigating the thoracic spine dysfunction, rib misalignment, or postural imbalances creating your symptoms. But proper treatment requires identifying whether your pain stems from thoracic vertebrae misalignment, costotransverse joint dysfunction, muscle trigger points, or referred pain from cervical issues. Our specialized approach evaluates all these potential sources and provides targeted treatment.

Why Ann Arbor Residents Choose Us
Effective upper back treatment eliminates the persistent discomfort that conventional approaches merely manage. Pain relief often comes quickly as we address thoracic spine and rib dysfunction. Breathing becomes easier and deeper as rib mechanics improve and chest expansion increases. Shoulder blade pain and burning sensations resolve as muscle trigger points release. Posture naturally improves as we correct the structural issues making slouching feel normal. Work productivity increases when pain stops breaking concentration during desk work. Sleep quality improves when you're not constantly adjusting positions to relieve upper back discomfort. The natural approach avoids medication dependency while addressing true causes. Prevention strategies protect against recurrence. Most importantly, upper back pain relief eliminates the constant, nagging discomfort that had been draining your energy and making even simple activities like sitting or breathing fully a conscious challenge.
