About This Service
About Our Upper Back Pain Care
Upper back pain is frequently linked to posture, rib misalignments, or repetitive stress. Through precise adjustments and targeted therapies, we realign the thoracic spine and relieve the muscle spasms contributing to your daily discomfort.
If you spend your day at a desk, behind a wheel, or over a workbench, the mid-back takes the brunt of it. That pattern is correctable — but not by stretching alone.
- Detailed analysis of your thoracic spinal structure
- Effective relief from stubborn muscle knots and tension
- Corrective strategies that improve overall posture
- Long-term solutions for desk workers and athletes alike
- Care coordinated with massage therapy when it helps

Our Approach
Why the Mid-Back Gets Overlooked
The thoracic spine is built for stability, so when it stiffens people tend to assume it is normal and work around it. The neck and lower back then compensate, which is why upper back restriction so often shows up alongside neck pain or headaches.
We assess how the whole region moves together, correct what is restricted, and give you the specific exercises that keep it from locking back down.
Common Questions
Questions Patients Ask Us
Why does my upper back hurt from sitting at a desk?
Sustained forward posture loads the thoracic spine and the muscles between the shoulder blades for hours at a time. Over months and years that changes how the region moves, and pain follows.
Can chiropractic help rib pain?
Yes. Sharp pain with breathing or twisting is often related to a rib joint that is not moving properly where it meets the spine, which is something we evaluate and treat.
Should I get a massage or an adjustment?
They work best together. Adjustments address the joint restriction, massage addresses the soft tissue around it. We offer both in-house and will tell you what your case needs.
How long until the tension stops coming back?
That depends on how long the pattern has been building and how much of your day reinforces it. Your exam and re-exam schedule will give you specific expectations.

Verified Patient“Having recently moved to Loveland, I was seeking a chiropractor closer to my home. I had a few unpleasant experiences with other Loveland chiropractic companies that are what I call ‘commercial chiropractic.’ Dr. Flemming’s passion for his practice was obvious to me from the first meeting. With every adjustment, I feel my body improve.”
