Chiropractic treatment for Dorsal Pain
These are painful symptoms that involve the joints and the muscles of the dorsal region and/or the rib cage, more commonly in the inter scapular zone. It is often linked to bad and incorrect postures that are assumed on a daily basis.
What is Dorsal Pain?
Dorsal pain problems can arise from a variety of causes, and the origin, oftentimes, is in a misalignment of the spine or by postural decompensation due to a displacement of the pelvic positioning. A subluxation of the spine can lead to increased muscle tone, spasms and muscle pain. Intervertebral disc, discopathy, protrusion, herniated disc also have to be discarded.
Principal causes
Specifically, dorsal pain may be the result of inflammation due to a pinch nerve, a subluxation and a consequent herniated intervertebral disc. It could also be due to osteoarthritis, scoliosis, a contracture or spasms of the muscles, but also because of infections, like herpes (herpes zoster), osteoporosis or traumatic injuries to the thoracic spine.
Dorsal pain is manifested or accentuated in certain positions, while it tends to decrease with rest and repose. Dorsal pain may be accompanied by secondary symptoms such as headache, neck pain stiffness, pain in and between the shoulders, muscle fatigue, numbness and tingling.
