Upper Back Pain
internal organs within the chest. Compared to the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine), the upper back is remarkably resistant to injury and pain. When upper back pain does occur, it is typically due to long-term poor posture or an injury that overpowers the thoracic spine’s sturdiness. The upper human posterior is the fundamental part of the human back as it houses the spinal cord, which in turn is connected to the brain. If it suffers pain it can be deadly in some cases. Upper back pain is pain between your neck and your lower back. In The thoracic spine—also referred to as the upper back or middle back—is designed for stability to anchor the rib cage and protect the vital center of your upper back are 12 bones called thoracic vertebrae. Muscles and ligaments help keep the vertebrae in their proper position.
Causes of Upper Back Pain
Back pain is usually caused by injuries to the ligaments or muscles that attach to the vertebrae. (Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that hold the bones in place.) Upper back pain can result from:
- Throwing, bending, or spraining
- Lifting or carrying substantially heavy things or reaching to put objects on a high shelf
- Non-upright posture, especially from using a computer for a long time
- Overuse
- A fall or car accident
- Sitting at a desk for a long time
- Rowing
- Carrying a heavy backpack, especially over one shoulder
- Forceful coughing or sneezing
- Scoliosis, which means that the spine curves from side to side rather than running straight down the back

How upper back pain should be treated/ cured
You will need to change or stop doing the activities that cause pain until your upper back has healed.
Your healthcare provider may recommend stretching and strengthening exercises and other types of physical therapy to help you heal
To help relieve pain for the first few days after an injury:
- Put an ice pack, gel pack, or package of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth on the injured area every 3 to 4 hours for up to 20 minutes at a time.
- Take pain medicine, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or other medicine as directed by your provider. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may cause stomach bleeding and other problems. These risks increase with age. Read the label and take as directed. Unless recommended by your healthcare provider, do not take for more than 10 days.
After the first few days, moist heat may help relax your muscles and make it easier to move your back. Put moist heat on the injured area for 10 to 15 minutes at a time to help relax tight muscles or muscle spasms and before you do warm-up and stretching exercises. Moist heat includes heat patches or moist heating pads that you can purchase at most drugstores, a wet washcloth or towel that has been heated in the dryer, or a hot shower. Don’t use heat if you have swelling.
Get a back massage by someone trained in giving massages. Do the exercises recommended by your healthcare provider. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
