Manual Therapy: Hands-on care such as myofascial release, trigger point work, and joint mobilization can ease muscle tightness, decrease pain, and restore motion in the upper and middle back.
Modalities: Treatment may include heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and encourage tissue healing.

What to Expect During Physical Therapy for Upper and Middle Back Pain
During your initial evaluation for mid and upper back pain, your therapist will assess pain levels, mobility, and functional limitations. They may also review your medical history and perform tests to identify what’s causing your symptoms.
Based on this assessment, your therapist will create a personalized plan that may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and education. The length of your treatment depends on the severity of your condition, your response to care, and your goals. Some patients feel relief after a few sessions, while others benefit from continued care over several weeks or months.
