Yes depending on the cause of your pain. We need to do an exam to determine the cause of your back pain
It is dependent on what is causing the pain to begin with. A practitioner can perform an orthopedic and neurological exam to determine what might be the cause. Even imaging may be needed to diagnose it. Some causes of neck/upper back pain can be (but not limited to): muscle strain, ligament sprain, disc herniation, fracture, stenosis, or degeneration.

So there are many different causes which can require different forms of treatment. Some conditions can be fixed with strengthening, corrective posture, or forms of conservative therapies. Some conditions may require surgery or other medical procedures. So it is important to see a medical professional to get a proper diagnosis to get the best treatment plan for your condition.
Yes. As long as there is no excessive osteoarthritis.
Yes, of course. That is part of the spine. Muscle problems around the rotator cuff are common. And rib joint dysfunctions can be very painful.
Depends on the problem. More than likely yes. An exam and potential xrays would be recommended.
Hello, This is a vague question. The best option is to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor to have an evaluation of the discomfort you are experiencing, and then determine a plan to help resolve the pain. Thank you, Dr. Churchill
