Overview
Understanding upper back pain
The thoracic (upper and mid) spine is more stable than the neck and lower back, so pain here often involves muscle tension, joint stiffness and posture-related strain rather than discs.
Care commonly combines hands-on treatment with practical advice on posture and work set-up. Laser therapy may support recovery of irritated soft tissue where appropriate.
Common symptoms
- Aching or burning between the shoulder blades
- Stiffness after long periods at a desk
- Tension that worsens through the day
- Discomfort with deep breaths or twisting
Possible causes
- Posture and prolonged sitting
- Muscle tension and overuse
- Thoracic joint stiffness
- Repetitive or awkward movements

Upper Back Pain questions
Prolonged sitting and screen work are common contributors to mid-back tension. During your assessment we can review your posture and work habits and suggest practical adjustments alongside treatment.
The best next step is an assessment. We review your history and examine how you move, then discuss which options — chiropractic care, spinal decompression, laser therapy or a combination — may be appropriate. If care with us is not suitable, we will tell you.
