An ice pack, which can help with right back pain.
Right middle back pain is a common complaint that can have a multitude of causes. Most pain in this area of the back is due to tight muscles, a condition that occurs when muscles are overworked and stretched or torn. Other possible causes may include gallbladder problems, intestinal gas, and pinched nerves. While treatment largely depends on the source of the pain, some possible treatment options include heat or ice therapy, medications, and gentle stretching exercises.
Stomach pain that accompanies right middle back pain could indicate a serious condition.
Muscle strains that cause right mid-back pain can usually be treated with relatively conservative means at home. It is important to first get an accurate diagnosis from a medical professional to rule out more serious medical conditions. Heat or ice therapy may be helpful, as some patients prefer heat and others prefer ice. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also be used, and many health professionals recommend gentle stretching exercises once the pain begins to subside.
Muscle strains are a common cause of right middle back pain.
Gallbladder problems, such as gallstones or an inflamed gallbladder, can cause right mid-back pain in some patients. This pain can also extend up to the right shoulder. This condition can quickly become an emergency situation. Therefore, if these symptoms are accompanied by nausea, vomiting or stomach pain, the patient should go immediately to the local emergency department.
Gallbladder problems and intestinal gas can cause right middle back pain.
If the pain tends to come and go, the problem could be intestinal gas. There are several over-the-counter medications that can be used to help relieve gas pain. If the problem persists or does not respond to treatment, a medical professional should be consulted to ensure that there is not a more serious intestinal problem.
When right middle back pain is accompanied by difficulty maintaining correct posture, the cause could be a herniated disc. A herniated disc is also known as a herniated disc and occurs when the cushioned area between the discs in the spine moves into an abnormal position. This condition can sometimes be treated with medication, physical therapy, and massage therapy. However, in more severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
Pinched nerves are a potential cause of right middle back pain.
Pinched nerves, another possible cause of right middle back pain, occur when an abnormal amount of pressure is placed on one of the nerves. This can occur due to slipping discs or muscle strains and can lead to what is commonly known as a tingling sensation. Physical therapy and medications are sometimes used to treat pinched nerves. However, surgical intervention is often necessary to address the root cause.
