Why Shoulder and Upper Back Tension Happens

Modern lifestyles take a toll on our posture and muscle balance. Sitting for hours, looking down at phones, or carrying heavy bags can lead to misalignments in the spine and tightness in the muscles surrounding the shoulders and upper back.

Some of the most common causes include:

• Poor posture and forward head position
• Stress and muscle tension
• Overuse or repetitive motions
• Previous injuries or accidents
• Misalignments in the neck and thoracic spine

Over time, these issues can interfere with nerve function, restrict movement, and cause pain that radiates from the upper back into the shoulders and arms.

1. Spinal and Shoulder Adjustments

Precise chiropractic adjustments realign the cervical and thoracic spine, improving posture and reducing pressure on the nerves that control shoulder and upper back muscles.

2. Soft Tissue and Muscle Therapy

Manual techniques and instrument-assisted soft tissue work help release knots, improve circulation, and relax tight muscles around the shoulders and upper back.

3. Postural Correction and Ergonomic Coaching

Dr. Dolcecore and Dr. Winters teach simple posture correction strategies and ergonomic adjustments for your workspace to prevent future tension buildup.
