Upper Back pain

Upper back pain and tension is a very common scenario for humans living with a modern day lifestyle. Most of the time, the problem lies within the spinal or muscular structures, or both as a result of long standing repetitive strains and sprains.

We have 12 joints on each side of our thoracic spine, with a large number of muscles all attaching to the spine which hold our shoulder blades in position and hold the spine upright. But with repetitive work, we easily get wrong something as simple as keeping our spine and shoulders ‘up straight’.

When we bend, sit, stand for too long, we try to find the path of least resistance and slump our posture which creates tension in muscles and stiffness in joints.

What we specialise in at Innervate Chiro is finding the underlying structural cause why you’re having problems with pain, stiffness and posture. The problems can be;

  • Too much thoracic curve
  • Not enough thoracic curve
  • Thoracic scoliosis (side curve)
  • Rounded shoulders
  • Forward head posture
  • Whiplash
  • Stress
  • Lifting injuries

Often a misalignment or dysfunction of the spinal bones our shoulder blade are the biomechanical problem waiting in the background, which leads to a breakdown at some point. They are designed to work in a particular position, taking a specific amount of pressure throughout your life. When they are overloaded, they breakdown, degenerate and injure other nearby structures, leading to restriction of movement and pain. There are also a large number of nerves that leave the spine in the thoracic spine which control and regulate all of your ORGANS and begin to change their function under stress which can significantly affect your health and well-being over time!

By restoring proper function of the spine and releasing overworked muscles, we can return the nervous system to a state of equilibrium and allow the body to begin to heal itself. Postural correction and stabilisation also play a vital role in correcting the problems that cause the overload, once normal function is restored.

Chiropractic Woolloongabba is a primary integrated part of the healthcare system which forms part of conservative methods which are an alternative to the usage of drugs and surgery. Chiropractors Australia is one of the fifteen registered healthcare professions in Australia and study for at least 5 years. Consumers are more widely seeking chiropractic in Woolloongabba and around the world as an important part of their ongoing healthcare. Each year there is an estimated 19.1 million visits to chiropractors Australia and other studies suggest that 8.6% of all visits are from children.

Chiropractic Australia involves the use of hands-on spinal manipulation called an ‘adjustment’ and other alternative treatments such as muscle releases, stretches and treatment tools. Proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, enables the body to heal itself in certain instances without surgery or medication. The aim of chiropractor Australia is to treat the cause, not the symptom!

The Adjustment uses the bones as levers to create ideal movement and function where it has been dysfunctional, which can cause neurological and muscular stress. Dysfunction may occur due to tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support. The nervous system controls every single organ and function in the body. If a nearby joint or tissue is dysfunctional, it may create change or damage to the nerve. The muscles hang off bones (except the ones that make you smile!) and nerves tell muscles what to do. This means that if joints and nerves are dysfunctional, so may be the muscles.

Chiropractic treatment in Woolloongabba is used as a spinal alignment correction tool, and as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Chiro Australia is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. Techniques use quick but small movements to stretch tight areas, break up scar tissue and decompress joints.
