Upper-back muscle tension

Upper-back muscle tension

For upper-back muscle tension, an individualized program may include chiropractic care and physical therapy to correct spinal imbalances, improve mobility, reduce tension in affected musculature, and support the body’s healing process. The practice also uses posture examination, postural activation exercises, corrective exercise, assisted stretching, and rehabilitative conditioning in its correction phase.

Once the findings are clear, the pain-relief phase may include chiropractic adjustments, muscle stimulation, laser therapy, Graston Therapy, TECCAR Winback Therapy, or Shockwave Therapy. The correction phase may add corrective exercise with cueing, assisted stretching, rehabilitative conditioning, and active care or lifestyle modification.

DeFabio Chiropractic begins with a thorough examination and accurate diagnosis before recommending treatment. The care plan may include chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, movement training, or other non-surgical options when appropriate for the findings.
