Middle right back pain7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() It sounds overly simple, but it can be a difficult thing to master. If the problem is caused as a result of muscular tightness in the trapezius, preventing it from becoming tight in the first place is the right way to go. The only way to solve the problem in the long-term is to target the true cause. ![]() ![]() Treating where the pain is occurring in the mid-back sadly wouldn’t be enough to stave off irritation in the long-term. Stretching a chronically overstretched muscle can cause pain to become more severe, not to mention the influence slouching can have on the alignment of your spine in general – which can lead to a whole host of other spinal problems to develop in the long-term.Ī solution to the problem of mid back pain coming from the neck While it may feel more relaxing to slouch, in reality this is actually down to those muscles becoming too weak to hold your body in the correct way it was designed to be aligned. When you lean forward, perhaps hunched forward over your desk, or rounding your back while sitting so that your neck and head are leaning in front, the trapezius muscle becomes stretched as it’s no longer in a straight or relaxed position. If you experience tightness, one of the most useful things we may feel like doing is looking down in order to slightly stretch the muscle and get some relief – but this may be contributing towards stretching an already overstretched muscle. Combine that with an evening watching television in bed or on the sofa perhaps with your neck propped up on a pillow, can lead to tightness developing in the trapezius muscle – this runs from your neck down across the inner part of the shoulder and down between the shoulder blades. It’s very common to experience pain in the upper back, usually between the shoulder blades, from time to time – long days at work can lead to many of us forgetting how important it is to maintain correct posture. ![]()
