Upper Back Pain in Ypsilanti, 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 Ypsilanti Residents Choose Us

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.
