Chiropractic Care for Upper Back Pain in Flower Mound, TX
Relief for tightness between the shoulder blades
That burning, knotted feeling between your shoulder blades often builds quietly at a desk, behind the wheel or while carrying a child. Palmercare Chiropractic Flower Mound helps patients find the causes of upper back pain and work on them with hands-on care guided by Dr. Madison Molitor.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Upper Back Pain
The upper and mid back, known as the thoracic spine, is built for stability and supports the rib cage. Because it sits between the neck and low back, it often takes the strain from poor posture, repetitive motion, heavy lifting or injury.
The Cleveland Clinic explains typical causes and when to seek help in its overview of upper back pain. Chest pain, shortness of breath, or pain with fever or unexplained weight loss needs prompt medical attention.
Upper back pain commonly feels like:
- A deep ache or burning between the shoulder blades
- Tightness that spreads to the neck and shoulders
- Pain with deep breaths or twisting
- Stiffness after sitting or sleeping
- Tension headaches that follow the pain

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes upper back pain?
Common causes include poor posture, muscle strain, repetitive motion, injuries and stress.
Can a chiropractor help upper back pain?
Many patients find chiropractic care helpful for mechanical upper back pain, and we refer out when another cause is suspected.
Why does pain appear between my shoulder blades?
Muscles there work hard to support posture, and strained neck or rib joints can refer pain to the area.

Yes. Prolonged sitting and poor ergonomics are among the most common contributors to upper back tension.
Is my pain a heart problem?
Chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating or pain spreading to the arm or jaw may signal an emergency. Call 911.
What helps at home?
Gentle stretching, regular movement breaks, heat and posture awareness often help.
Do you use taping?
Yes, when it makes sense, to support muscles and give posture feedback.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the cause and your response. We review progress regularly.
