Brian Kwon Acupuncture I have described low-back pain in detail in my previous posts. Along with low-back pain, upper back pain is also a very common case.
Usually, upper back pain isn’t isolated but rather shows up along with neck and shoulder pain. In many cases, people also describe it as a pain next to the scapula or spine.
Upper back pain typically shows up in the upper thoracic spine area, between T2 and T6 (between 2nd thoracic spine and 6th thoracic spine). Depending on the characteristic of pain (i.e. stiff, achy, sharp, or burning sensation), the treatment principle varies. If you are experiencing a sharp or burning sensation, with the proper treatment, it normally goes away after 1-2 acupuncture treatments. An acute condition will be recovered sooner, but even if it is a chronic condition, you will see a noticeable difference with acupuncture treatment.
