What's Behind Your Mid Back Pain?
The thoracic spine doesn't move as freely as the neck or low back, which means restrictions here often build up gradually from poor posture, prolonged sitting, or repetitive movement patterns rather than a single injury.
Because the thoracic spine connects closely to rib mechanics and breathing, mid back issues can also create a tight, restricted feeling that's different from typical muscle soreness — and often responds well to targeted chiropractic care.
Common Patterns We Treat
Types of Mid Back Pain We See Most
Thoracic Joint Restriction
Stiffness and reduced motion in the joints of the upper and mid spine, often worsened by long periods of sitting.
Postural Strain
Rounded shoulders and forward posture placing chronic strain on the muscles between the shoulder blades.
Muscle Tension & Spasm
Tight rhomboid and trapezius muscles, often creating a knotted or burning sensation between the shoulder blades.
Rib Joint Dysfunction
Restricted motion where the ribs attach to the spine, which can create sharp pain with breathing or twisting.
Desk Worker Strain
Chronic discomfort from prolonged computer use, often paired with neck and shoulder tension.
Sports & Activity-Related Strain
Mid back discomfort from rotational sports like golf and weightlifting that stress the thoracic spine.

Mid Back Pain FAQs
Why does my mid back feel tight even after stretching?
If the restriction is coming from the joints themselves, not just the muscles, stretching alone often won't resolve it. Restoring joint motion through chiropractic adjustment can address this more directly.
Can mid back pain affect my breathing?
Yes, since the thoracic spine and ribs work together during breathing. Restricted motion here can create a tight, restricted feeling, especially with deep breaths.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on how long the restriction has been present and how your body responds. Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits.
Is mid back pain treatment covered by insurance?
We're in-network with BCBSM, HAP, Priority Health, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, Federal FEP, McLaren, and select Medicaid plans. We're happy to verify your specific benefits before your first visit.
