Chiropractic Care for the Upper Back

A significant relationship exists between slumped posture and postural changes of the neck.

The thoracic spine is located at the back of the chest, mostly between the shoulder blades, and extends from the bottom of the neck to the waist.

Pain in this area is most commonly related to inflammation in the muscles of the soft tissue. This inflammation could be a result of sitting or standing in a slouched position, using a backpack, lack of muscular strength, repeating a movement persistently that involves the mid-back, or sudden impact to this area.

Though pain in this area is generally less common than the neck and low back, the prognosis is generally good with chiropractic intervention and treatment. We will work with you to identify potential causes of your upper back pain, provide treatment and implement tools that will create positive, lasting change.
THORACIC PAIN AND HEADACHE

Persistent thoracic kyphosis, or a hunched back, leads to eventual postural changes in the neck. As a result, greater neck tension and abnormal movement patterns are experienced.  Addressing these issues early could significantly reduce your risk of chronic neck pain and headache. 

Patient Experiences

"Dr. Jess spent more than an hour with me during my initial visit talking, listening, and going through my history. She is extremely thorough and discussed ways to improve my aches and pains using various tools and techniques I'd never been introduced to before. She is out my insurance network but I am willing to pay extra for extraordinary care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality provider."

"I had my first official visit with Dr. Jess Budjac and I am overly impressed. Her office space is great, her staff is warm and welcoming. Dr. Jess has a way of making you feel like you've been friends for years. Her bed side manner is second to none. I had been suffering with neck pain and headaches, sometimes debilitating. Working with Jess has made such a difference. She thoroughly explained what was going on and what I could do to prevent this in the future. Her adjustments are specific, effective, and comfortable. Thank you for your knowledge, kindness, and exceptional care! I would highly recommend you give Dr. Jess Budjac a call. Suffering is one, optional, and two, overrated!"
