Upper Back Pain Treatment in Greenville, SC
Upper Back Pain Treatment at IHP Greenville — expert acupuncture for chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Hendry, DAOM. Call (864) 365-6156.
Upper back pain — pain in the thoracic spine, between the shoulder blades, or across the upper trapezius — is increasingly common in an era of desk work, prolonged phone use, and forward-head posture. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry treats upper back pain through a combination of acupuncture, trigger point dry needling of the rhomboids, upper trapezius, and paraspinal muscles, and functional medicine assessment when chronic inflammation or autoimmune factors contribute.
How Upper Back Pain Treatment Works
Upper back pain treatment combines acupuncture (targeting thoracic paraspinal points, Governing Vessel, and Bladder meridian points) with precise trigger point dry needling of the most common upper back muscle offenders — upper trapezius, rhomboids, infraspinatus, and serratus anterior. Cupping therapy is often added to the upper back for myofascial release and circulation enhancement.
