The upper back is the region running from the neck\u2019s base to the bottom of the rib cage. It consists of 12 bones that are medically referred to as the thoracic spine. The pain felt may feel like a burning or pulling sensation and may be felt in one specific spot or may radiate to other neck or back areas. Other symptoms may manifest as cramping, swelling, spasms of the muscles, or inflammation. The spine shares its supporting functions with nearby muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upper back muscles involved are; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physio-pedia.com\/Trapezius\">The Trapezius<\/a>&#8211; close to the shoulder blade that helps in standing straight and throwing and Rhomboids- found adjacent to the trapezius and help in pulling and supporting the shoulders. It is utterly essential to keep your body\u2019s upper back pain-free, and you can achieve this through simple treatments and stretching exercises. Do not perform the activities forcefully to prevent pain aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Poor posture.<\/li><li>An injury.<\/li><li>Muscle overuse.<\/li><li>Heavy lifting.<\/li><li>Hunching over the computer for long periods.<\/li><li>A pinched spine nerve close to the ribs.<\/li><li>A herniated disc.<\/li><li>Osteoarthritis- The cartilage that protects the bones may wear down and cause upper back pain as the spine is mainly affected.<\/li><li>Gallstones- They can cause pain in between the shoulder blades.<\/li><li>Specific types of cancer such as lung cancer.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Common remedies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rest<\/strong> &#8211; take a rest from anything that may impact your upper back muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hot and cold therapy<\/strong> &#8211; Ice will help reduce swelling and pain, while heat will ease stiffness and improve the upper muscle mobility. They work by compression. Use for approximately fifteen minutes up to four times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dieting<\/strong> &#8211; Avoid the types of foods that may cause inflammation, such as processed and junk foods. Consume more fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prescribed medication<\/strong> &#8211; To ease the pain brought about by a pulled muscle in the upper back, an anti-inflammatory drug or a muscle relaxant can be administered. Anti-depressants may be prescribed where the physician suspects depression as a cause. Take medicine when natural remedies fail, as medications may bring about adverse effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chin tuck<\/strong> &#8211; Sit on a chair with your shoulders down and relaxed and pull the chin inwards towards the neck. Make a count of up to five, relax and repeat about ten times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shoulder blade squeeze<\/strong> &#8211; Place your hands on your thighs and keep the shoulders down, approximately at chin level. Squeeze together the shoulder blades in a slow manner, then count to five. Relax and repeat about three to four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upper back massage<\/strong> &#8211; A light massage will increase blood circulation to the injured tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sciaticapatients.com\/backpain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img  decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/sciaticapatients.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/backpain.png\" alt=\"backpain\" class=\"wp-image-1238\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Pulled upper back muscle exercises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>1.
