Upper back pain is not as common as the lower back pain. But pain is pain. When the pain process starts, it is unbearable. The two common identified causes of upper back pain are:

1. Muscular irritation (also known as myofascial pain)

2. Joint dysfunction.

There can be many other causes- injury, accidents, upper disc displacement and many more.

There is a great deal of stability and less motion in the upper back, which is thoracic spine region. So, spinal disorders are not very common. Conditions like herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease and spinal disability can cause upper back pain, but such cases are few. This being the case, it is difficult to identify the causes for the upper back pain, precisely. Even an MRI Scan or CT Scan will not be of much help. So, it is not easy for the doctor to find a surgical solution, if the pain persists for a long period.

Modern amenities are not without the accompanying problems. A poor posture over a period of time creates strain in a particular region and that region happens to be your upper back, in case you are a computer operator and work throughout the day in front of your PC. Neck pain and shoulder pain are the comrades -in arms -of the upper back pain.

Here are some more causes of upper back pain:

1. Lack of strength in the particular region.

2. Injuries and damage to the muscles of the region caused through repetitive motions i.e. working in a particular machine in a particular manner. Take for example, hand molding machines. On an average a person does 1500 hand-operated motions in a working schedule of 8 hours.

3. Muscle strains and sports injuries.

Here again. You have to understand your back pain. With the nature of your work known to you, identify the area of your upper back, which is mostly strained. Do such yoga asanas, which help to ease the stress in that area. Do regular oil massage. If this is done in a systematic manner, there would not be any cause for the upper back pain to happen.

Because upper back is a big area, and also ‘muscle junction’, you have to adapt to a system of doing several stretching and strengthening exercises.

If you get the upper back pain, do not panic. Avoid hard medications and painkillers at any cost. Even best of the hospitals, the renowned specialists, have understood the virtue of physio-therapy. Follow it now, for your suffering is due to your past failings and negligence!

The poet says:

“Half the cure goes to the knowledgeable Doctor’s medical research,

And half to her magical touch!”

There is a deep meaning in what the poet says. It is the mind over the matter theory. It is the victory of the will power over the gross! It is the victory of love over all other things! And your back pain is a trifle, before the all-conquering power of the spirit, which always energizes you! If only you are able to understand the power of the Nature- all these pains would have to run down the drain!

Do you think that I am carrying you emotionally? No! I only wish to give you certain practical, life-saving hints!

These hard pain killers have ruined the health of the era! Any hard medication for the back pain is bad. The pain needs to make its exit in the most natural way. Then only you will get permanent relief.

You can go back to the Vioxx controversy for this. 20 million Americans gulped Vioxx, a pain medication, prescribed by competent surgeons and medical practitioners of USA, before its heart-attacking qualities were detected by further research! It was subsequently withdrawn from the racks of the medical stores and hospitals. Apart from many other law suits, a marathon runner, aged 59, got the damages worth $253.4 million, against the drug-manufacturing company.

Then what about numerous other over-the-counter painkillers? Same could be their story. Surrender to the Nature! Surrender to Yoga Asanas and Pranayama if you wish to have natural back pain relief. Depend upon the famous oil massages prescribed in the ancient texts of India, authored by enlightened Sages! Your body is always willing to co-operate with you if you understand the way it functions!

Now, the American researchers too have found! The power of the Nature! The bark of the white willow tree has the properties to cure pain and take on fevers. The salaicin in the willow and human body converts it into salicylic acid. It is popularly now termed as herbal aspirin.

There are many such popular herbs. Go through any standard text on Ayurveda, the science of Natural healing and you will understand the systems of closing your pain-chapter for ever!
