Back Pain Relief in Gahanna

Back pain is rarely just one simple issue. It can build slowly from long hours at a desk, everyday stress, or repeated movements. It can also show up suddenly after a workout, a long drive, or even an awkward night of sleep. You might notice tight shoulders and stiffness at first, then feel an ache between your shoulder blades or a sharp pain in your lower back when you stand up.

While it can all feel connected, upper, middle, and lower back pain often come from different causes, which is why looking at the full picture matters. At Keystone Chiropractic, we help patients understand what may be contributing to their back pain and what to do next, so they feel supported and confident moving forward.

Upper Back Pain: Neck, Shoulders, and Posture

Upper back pain often shows up as tightness between the shoulders, tension in the neck, or soreness that builds throughout the day. Long hours at a desk, looking down at phones, or driving can all strain this area. Poor posture and stress can cause muscles to overwork, leading to stiffness and limited movement.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore motion to the upper spine and reduce tension, while massage therapy can calm overactive muscles that are doing too much work.

Middle Back Pain: The Overlooked Zone

The middle back, or thoracic spine, doesn’t get as much attention, but it plays a huge role in posture and breathing. Pain here can feel like a deep ache or pressure that doesn’t quite go away. Slouching, restricted movement, or past injuries can cause this area to stiffen over time.

Improving mobility in the middle back often helps people stand taller, move easier, and feel less “compressed” during the day. Chiropractic care paired with physical rehabilitation exercises can gently restore strength and flexibility where it’s been missing.

Lower Back Pain: The Most Common Complaint

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. It may stem from prolonged sitting, lifting improperly, old injuries, or repetitive strain. Some people feel a dull ache, while others experience sharp pain or stiffness that limits daily activities. Lower back care at our practice focuses on improving joint movement, reducing muscle tension, and supporting better mechanics so the spine can handle everyday demands more comfortably.

As Gahanna chiropractor Dr. Nathan Lorenz shares, “Back pain is rarely just about one spot. When we look at how the entire spine moves together, people often feel relief that actually lasts.”

A Whole Body Approach to Back Pain Relief

Chiropractic care works best when combined with complementary services. Physical rehabilitation helps rebuild stability and confidence in movement. Massage therapy and cupping can ease tight muscles that pull on the spine and contribute to pain. Together, these services help your body move more naturally again.
