How can i relieve upper back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Motion is lotion!: Depends on the cause, but start conservatively with stretches/exercises/yoga. If tolerated, NSAIDs with food in the short turn. Heat and/or ice (not at the same time) may help. If persistent, a full history and exam with proper imaging are recommended. If severe, seek immediate evaluation to rule out aortic dissection.
