Upper back pain between shoulder blades may be helped by posture correction exercises and stretches
January 5th, 2008 by terrioOne of the causes of upper back pain is poor neck posture which ultimately pushes the area between the shoulder blades out as the head goes forward.
Some neck exercises are good for upper back pain and between the shoulder blades with causes related to poor posture habits.
The causes of upper back pain are varied so it is important to be examined by a doctor. In my practice, the most common of the causes of pain in the upper back without injury is related to poor posture at home and at work. Muscles and ligaments become over stretched and weak. Over a period of time, the joints become stressed and this causes a degenerative type of arthritis similar to that seen in the neck region with stiffness caused by restricted motion and irritation of pain sensitive structures like the nerves and disk.
