Question -
I have had upper back pain for almost 2 years, hoew can I strengthen my back muscles?
Hello Gilli,
What you may want to do, is have a trainer at a gym take you through some specific exercises for the upper back and test you to see what muscles are the weakest and focus on them. Also there is a company called physicians neck and back who has machines that isolate the specific muscles, and they might be covered by your insurance.
Hope the information helps,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
