Common Causes Of Upper Back Pain

People who are physically active often find themselves experiencing lower back pain. Often, sports and leisure activities that keep us healthy involve doing repetitive motions that can take a toll on the upper back- think about the muscle behind a golf swing, or the power necessary to row a boat. It can be frustrating when the work we're doing to keep us healthy results in pain.

If you have a job that requires you to spend much of the day sitting in a desk chair and looking at a computer screen, this can also cause upper back pain, especially if your desk chair has poor back support. Frequent breaks can help to stop your back issues from getting worse, but you'll need treatment to fix the root cause of the problem.

Poor posture can also contribute to upper back pain. It's easy to fall into the habit of slouching, especially while driving or while sitting in meetings. Other back problems can make it easy to sink into poor posture throughout the day, even if you start out by remembering to sit and stand up straight in the morning.
