A member asked:
What exercise or stretch can i do for my upper back pain to help loosen it up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine nerve irritate: Many physical therapy sites will show you the best stretches for your muscles. You may have back nerve root irritation with significant muscle spasms, esp deep spasms which cannot be really stretched with exercise. You will need to be evaluated by your family doctor and a specialist and physical medicine and rehabilitation.
