Upper Back Pain

Pain experienced anywhere from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage is called upper back pain. It’s not as common as neck or lower back pain but can be equally troublesome and stressful.

Upper Back Pain Symptoms

Upper back pain symptoms may vary depending on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.

Mild to moderate symptoms may include:

  • Aching pain
  • Muscle stiffness and tightness
  • Tenderness when touching the affected area
  • Headache

Chronic or severe symptoms may include:

  • Intense pain or muscle spasms
  • Tingling sensation or numbness in the legs or buttocks
  • Fever or unexplained weight loss
  • Bladder or bowel-related issues

Chronic upper back pain requires immediate medical attention to prevent the worsening of symptoms and potential physical deformity.

Upper Back Pain Causes

A variety of medical conditions and injury-related trauma can lead to upper back pain.

  • Strains & Sprains: Injuries to muscles, ligaments, or tendons caused by sudden movements, repetitive actions, or lifting heavy objects with poor posture.
  • Improper Posture: Maintaining poor posture for long periods may result in upper back pain and long-term posture-related issues.
  • Spinal Disc Problems: Conditions such as herniated discs or degenerative disc disease can contribute to chronic upper back pain.
  • Bone Fractures: Spinal fractures caused by falls, accidents, or injuries can lead to severe upper back pain.
  • Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis may affect the spine and cause upper back pain.

Upper Back Pain Diagnosis

Diagnosis of upper back pain typically begins with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors.

A physical examination may be performed to understand the type of pain and its potential cause. Based on the results, doctors may recommend the following tests:

  • Spine X-rays
  • MRI Scan
  • CT Scan
  • Bone Density Test
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Blood Tests
