Mid-Back Pain: The Forgotten Zone Between Neck and Low Back

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:48:35 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

When people talk about back pain, they usually mean the neck or low back. But thoracic pain — the middle region of the spine from roughly the shoulder blades to the lower ribs — is remarkably common and frequently overlooked. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, mid-back pain is one of the most undertreated conditions we encounter.

Why the Thoracic Spine Gets Ignored

The thoracic spine is naturally less mobile than the cervical or lumbar regions, it's stabilized by the ribcage and designed for structural support rather than large ranges of motion. Because of this relative stiffness, people often normalize thoracic tightness, assuming it's just "how their back feels." But restriction in this region has downstream effects on both neck and lower back function.

Common Causes of Mid-Back Pain

Prolonged sitting in flexion — the thoracic spine rounds forward under the weight of the head and arms
Poor workstation ergonomics — monitor height, chair support, and keyboard position all matter
Costovertebral joint dysfunction — the joints where ribs attach to the thoracic vertebrae can become irritated
Muscle guarding from stress and tension
Referred pain from other areas — gallbladder issues, for example, can mimic thoracic spine pain

Why Thoracic Restriction Matters Beyond Mid-Back Pain

The thoracic spine is the anchor point for shoulder blade movement and plays a critical role in shoulder mechanics. Restricted thoracic rotation is a significant contributor to shoulder impingement, neck pain, and even lumbar overload. When we adjust the thoracic spine, patients frequently notice improvements in areas beyond just their mid-back.

Treatment

Thoracic spine adjustments are among the most immediately satisfying in chiropractic. Patients often notice a dramatic improvement in their ability to rotate, breathe deeply, and move freely. We combine adjustments with soft tissue work and targeted mobility exercises.

Volleyball Shoulder: The Overhead Athlete's Most Common Complaint

Mon, 28 Sep 2026 12:48:29 GMT

Published by Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Volleyball players, particularly setters and outside hitters, develop a very specific pattern of shoulder dysfunction from repetitive overhead loading. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, we call this pattern "volleyball shoulder" and we see it in athletes as young as 14.

What Repetitive Overhead Work Does to the Shoulder

Every spike and serve loads the rotator cuff, the glenohumeral joint, and the muscles of the upper back and neck. Over hundreds of repetitions per practice, small amounts of joint wear, muscle fatigue, and tissue irritation accumulate. Without adequate recovery and maintenance, this leads to:

Rotator cuff tendinopathy - inflammation in the tendons of the rotator cuff
Shoulder impingement - compression of soft tissue in the subacromial space
Posterior shoulder tightness and internal rotation deficit (GIRD)
Bicipital tendinitis - pain at the front of the shoulder

Signs Your Athlete's Shoulder Needs Attention

Pain during or after serving or spiking
Reduced range of motion, especially reaching across the body or behind the back
Clicking or catching sensation in the shoulder
General achiness that doesn't resolve with rest days

Our Treatment Approach

We focus on restoring full shoulder range of motion, correcting strength imbalances between the internal and external rotators, and adjusting the thoracic spine, which directly impacts shoulder mechanics. Many volleyball shoulder cases respond quickly when caught early.

The Role of the Spine in Athletic Performance

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:02:47 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Most athletes think about performance in terms of strength, endurance, and skill. Far fewer think about their spine. Yet at Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, we'd argue that spinal health is one of the most underappreciated performance variables across all sports.

The Spine as Command Central

The spinal cord runs through the center of your spine and serves as the primary highway for nerve communication between your brain and your body. Every muscle contraction, every movement, every proprioceptive signal relies on this pathway. When spinal segments are misaligned or restricted, they can create interference in this neural communication, subtle, but real.

Joint Restriction and Movement Efficiency

A restricted spinal joint doesn't just hurt, it changes how surrounding segments move to compensate. These compensations alter force transmission through the kinetic chain, reduce movement efficiency, and create predictable patterns of overuse injury. A restricted thoracic joint, for example, reduces rotation through the trunk, which reduces power transfer from the lower body and increases stress on the lumbar spine and shoulder.

What Athletes Notice After Adjustments

Improved range of motion in sport-specific movements
Reduced muscular tension and improved recovery between sessions
More fluid, less restricted movement overall
Better proprioception — awareness of body position in space
In some cases, measurable improvements in force output and endurance

The Research

Peer-reviewed research supports chiropractic care for improving athletic performance metrics including jump height, grip strength, and agility test performance. While no single intervention is a magic bullet, optimizing spinal mechanics is a legitimate performance tool used by professional and Olympic athletes worldwide.

Soccer Players: Are You Ignoring These Hip Flexor Warning Signs?

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:30:07 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Soccer places enormous demand on the hip flexors. Repeated sprinting, kicking, and rapid direction changes stress these muscles through thousands of cycles per game and practice. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, hip flexor strains in youth soccer players are one of our most frequently treated conditions, and they're almost always preceded by warning signs that get ignored.

The Warning Signs Parents and Athletes Miss

Tightness or pulling sensation in the front of the hip after practice
Reduced kicking power or feeling like the leg "won't go"
Pain when lifting the knee against resistance
A noticeable limp in the first few steps after sitting
Groin pain that's been written off as "normal soreness"

Why Soccer Players Are Especially Vulnerable

The hip flexor complex, primarily the iliopsoas and rectus femoris, is involved in nearly every movement in soccer. Sprinting activates them. Kicking loads them concentrically and eccentrically. When athletes train year-round without adequate recovery, these muscles become chronically shortened and increasingly vulnerable to strain.

The Connection to the Lower Back

Here's what many people don't realize: tight hip flexors pull on the lumbar spine and can cause or worsen low back pain. When we see a soccer player with hip flexor issues, we always assess the lumbar and pelvic alignment, because the two are intimately connected.

Our Treatment Approach

Chiropractic adjustment of the lumbar spine and SI joint
Soft tissue therapy to the iliopsoas and rectus femoris
Progressive hip flexor stretching and strengthening protocol
Activity modification to allow healing without full rest

The 5 Most Common Football Injuries We See in Student Athletes

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 01:31:29 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Football is one of the most physically demanding sports a young athlete can play, and with that demand comes a predictable set of injuries. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, we see these five football injuries repeatedly throughout the fall season. Knowing what they are can help parents and coaches catch them early.

1. Neck Stingers

A stinger, also called a burner, occurs when the neck is forcefully bent to one side, stretching or compressing the nerves of the brachial plexus. The result is a brief but intense burning or electric shock sensation down one arm. Repeated stingers can lead to chronic nerve irritation and should always be evaluated.

2. Shoulder Separations (AC Joint Sprains)

Falling on an outstretched arm or taking a direct hit to the shoulder can separate the acromioclavicular joint. This is extremely common in linemen and skill positions alike. Chiropractic evaluation helps determine severity and ensures the joint heals in proper alignment.

3. Low Back Strain and Spinal Compression

Linemen absorb enormous compressive forces on every play. Over a season, this repetitive loading can create muscle strains, facet joint irritation, and even stress reactions in the lumbar vertebrae. Early intervention prevents chronic back problems that can follow athletes into adulthood.

4. Knee Ligament Sprains

MCL sprains are among the most common knee injuries in football, often the result of lateral hits or awkward planting and cutting. While ACL injuries are less frequent, they are far more serious and often require surgical intervention. Any knee pain after contact should be evaluated promptly.

5. Turf Toe

This hyperextension injury of the big toe joint is increasingly common on artificial turf. It sounds minor but can be significantly disabling and tends to linger when not properly treated. Proper joint mobilization and load management can dramatically speed recovery.

A Note on Concussions

Any blow to the head that results in confusion, headache, vision changes, or balance issues requires immediate medical evaluation. Chiropractic care, specifically upper cervical work, can play a supportive role in post-concussion recovery alongside medical management.

Why Your IT Band Is Always Tight (And What Actually Fixes It)

Mon, 25 May 2026 13:45:01 GMT

Published by Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

If you're a runner in Franklin Lakes, NJ, chances are you've dealt with that familiar ache on the outside of your knee. IT band syndrome is one of the most common running injuries we see at Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine, and unfortunately, one of the most misunderstood.

What Is the IT Band?

The iliotibial band (IT band) is a thick strip of connective tissue that runs along the outside of your thigh, from your hip down to your knee. When it becomes irritated, you feel a sharp or burning pain on the outside of the knee, especially when running downhill or on banked surfaces.

Why Foam Rolling Alone Won't Fix It

The most common advice runners get is to foam roll the IT band. While this can provide temporary relief, the IT band itself isn't the root cause. It's tight because something upstream isn't working correctly.

The real culprits are usually:

Weak hip abductors (especially the gluteus medius)
Poor hip alignment or pelvic instability
Overpronation in the foot and ankle
Spinal misalignment affecting how load travels through the leg

How Sports Chiropractic Addresses IT Band Syndrome

At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine, we don't just treat the symptoms, we find the source. Our approach includes:

Chiropractic adjustments to restore hip and lumbar alignment
Soft tissue therapy to reduce tension in the TFL and lateral quad
Gait analysis to identify mechanical patterns that stress the IT band
Targeted rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the hip stabilizers

When to Get Checked

If you've had IT band pain for more than two weeks, or it keeps returning every training cycle, that's your body telling you the problem is structural, not just tightness. Don't wait until it forces you to stop running entirely.

That Nagging Low Back Pain That Won't Go Away? Here's Why!

Mon, 18 May 2026 13:30:04 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and yet it's frequently undertreated, misunderstood, or simply tolerated. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, low back pain is the single most common reason patients walk through our door. Here's what we know about it.

Most Chronic Low Back Pain Has a Mechanical Cause

Chronic low back pain is pain that has persisted for more than 12 weeks, and is rarely caused by serious pathology. In the vast majority of cases, it's the result of mechanical dysfunction: joints that aren't moving properly, muscles in chronic protective spasm, or disc-related pressure on surrounding nerves. These are all things chiropractic care is specifically designed to address.

Why It Keeps Coming Back

The reason most back pain recurs isn't bad luck, it's incomplete treatment. When people feel better, they stop care before the underlying dysfunction has been fully corrected. The pain goes away, but the joint restriction, muscle imbalance, or postural problem that caused it remains. One awkward movement later, it's back.

The Common Culprits We Find

Restricted lumbar facet joints that limit normal spinal movement
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is extremely common and often overlooked
Hip flexor tightness pulling the pelvis into anterior tilt
Core weakness that leaves the lumbar spine without adequate support
Thoracolumbar fascia tightness from prolonged sitting

What Our Approach Looks Like

We don't just adjust and send you home. We combine chiropractic manipulation with soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercise, and education about posture and movement mechanics. The goal isn't just to make the pain stop, it's to make sure it doesn't keep coming back.

What Is Sports Chiropractic & Why Athletes Swear By It

Mon, 11 May 2026 13:35:23 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

You've probably heard athletes mention their chiropractor — but sports chiropractic is more than just back cracking. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, sports chiropractic is a distinct discipline focused on optimizing how the musculoskeletal system performs under the demands of athletic activity.

What Sets Sports Chiropractic Apart

Sports chiropractors receive specialized training beyond standard chiropractic education in areas including: sports injury diagnosis and management, exercise rehabilitation, biomechanics and movement analysis, and nutrition for performance and recovery. The focus is not just on relieving pain — it's on restoring and maximizing function.

What We Actually Do

Diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries specific to sport and activity
Perform chiropractic adjustments to restore normal joint mechanics
Apply soft tissue techniques including myofascial release, Graston, and instrument-assisted work
Prescribe rehabilitative exercises to correct imbalances and prevent recurrence
Analyze movement patterns and gait to identify injury risk factors
Coordinate care with orthopedic, physical therapy, and medical providers when needed

Who Benefits From Sports Chiropractic

The short answer: anyone who moves. Our patients range from high school athletes and weekend warriors to marathon runners, competitive powerlifters, and recreational cyclists. You don't need to be a professional athlete to benefit from the same approach to musculoskeletal health that professional athletes use.

The Myths We Hear Most Often

That chiropractic is only for back pain. That adjustments are dangerous. That it's not "real medicine." All of these are incorrect. Chiropractic manipulation is one of the most evidence-supported conservative treatments for musculoskeletal pain and has an excellent safety record in the hands of qualified practitioners.

Why You Should Warm Up Before Yard Work (Yes, Really)

Mon, 04 May 2026 13:23:56 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Every spring and fall, we see a predictable influx of patients at Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ who overdid it in the yard over the weekend. Raking, mowing, shoveling, and gardening cause more acute musculoskeletal injuries than most people expect — and almost all of them are preventable.

Why Yard Work Is More Demanding Than It Looks

Most yard work involves repetitive asymmetrical movements - raking and shoveling always involve dominant-side bias - combined with sustained awkward postures (bending, kneeling, reaching) and sustained muscular effort over extended periods. The body is typically cold and hasn't moved much yet when the weekend warrior heads outside. That combination is a setup for strain.

The Most Common Yard Work Injuries

Lumbar muscle strains from raking or shoveling in cold muscles
Rotator cuff irritation from overhead pruning and trimming
Knee pain from prolonged kneeling or gardening in a squat position
Wrist and forearm strains from sustained gripping of tools
Neck and upper back pain from sustained forward head posture while weeding

The 5-Minute Warm-Up That Helps

Before you grab the rake or shovel, spend five minutes getting blood moving through the tissues you're about to use:

Arm circles and shoulder rolls — 30 seconds each direction
Hip circles and light squats — 10 repetitions
Spinal rotation standing — 10 gentle rotations each direction
Calf raises and ankle circles — 15 repetitions

Work Smarter, Not Longer

Break yard work into sessions. Forty-five minutes of raking, a 10-minute break to walk and stretch, then another 45 minutes is dramatically better for your body than two hours straight without stopping.

Half Marathon Training: How to Protect Your Body at Peak Mileage

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:30:16 GMT

Published by Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Training for a half marathon is one of the most rewarding athletic endeavors you can take on — but weeks 8 through 12 are when most runners hit the injury wall. Mileage is at its highest, cumulative fatigue has built up, and the body is under maximum stress. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, we help local runners make it to the start line healthy.

Why the Final Training Block Is the Danger Zone

The majority of training-related injuries don't happen on week one, they happen deep in the training cycle, when tissues are fatigued and the mileage climbs. You're doing long runs of 10–12 miles, adding mid-week quality work, and your body is working overtime to adapt. This is when small imbalances become big problems.

The Most Common Issues We See During Half Marathon Training

IT band syndrome (peaking around the 9–10 mile long run mark)
Stress reactions in the tibia or metatarsals
Hip flexor and piriformis tightness limiting stride length
Low back pain from accumulated compression
Plantar fasciitis flare-ups with increased weekly mileage

Smart Strategies for the Peak Training Block

Never increase your long run and weekly mileage in the same week
Add a true recovery week every 3–4 weeks (reduce volume by 30%)
Prioritize sleep. Tissue repair happens at night
Don't skip strength work. Hhip and glute strength is protective
Schedule a mid-training chiropractic check-in before symptoms become injuries

Chiropractic as Your Training Partner

Many half marathon runners in Franklin Lakes treat their monthly chiropractic visit like a scheduled maintenance interval — not something they do when they're hurt, but something that keeps them from getting hurt. We'll assess your alignment, identify any emerging issues, and keep your body ready for race day.

Whether you're running your first half or chasing a PR, we're in your corner.

Track & Field Injuries: What We See Most in Spring Season Athletes

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 02:33:08 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Track and field is deceptively demanding. The sport looks simple — run fast, jump far, throw

hard — but the injury profiles for sprinters, jumpers, and throwers are remarkably different from

one another. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, we see

a significant influx of track athletes each spring, and the injuries we treat depend heavily on

event specialty.

Sprinters: Hamstring and Hip Flexor Strains

High-speed sprinting generates enormous forces in the hamstring at the moment of foot strike.

Hamstring strains — particularly at the proximal attachment near the sit bone — are the most

feared injury in sprinting. Hip flexor strains from the explosive drive phase are also common.

Both respond well to soft tissue therapy, chiropractic care, and a structured return-to-speed

protocol.

Distance Runners: Overuse Injuries

Track distance runners face the same overuse injury spectrum as cross country athletes: shin

splints, IT band syndrome, stress fractures, and plantar fasciitis. The track surface — while

consistent — is also very hard, which increases tibial stress compared to trail running.

Jumpers: Hip, Knee, and Landing Injuries

Long jumpers, high jumpers, and triple jumpers absorb massive impact forces at landing.

Patellar tendinopathy, hip flexor strains, and lumbar compression injuries are common. We

assess the full kinetic chain from the lumbar spine down to ensure athletes can generate and

absorb force efficiently.

Throwers: Shoulder, Elbow, and Back

Shot putters, discus throwers, and javelin athletes develop significant thoracic rotation demands

and shoulder stress. Lumbar rotation under load during the throw also creates back injury risk.

Thoracic spine mobility work is often a game-changer for throwing athletes.

Baseball Pitching Injuries in Youth Athletes: What Parents Should Know

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 02:01:30 GMT

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com

Youth baseball pitching injuries have reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Elbow

surgeries that were once reserved for professional pitchers are now being performed on

teenagers — and in some cases, middle schoolers. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports

Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, we believe most of these injuries are preventable.

The Growth Plate Problem

Young athletes are not small adults. Their bones are still developing, and the growth plates at

the ends of bones are significantly weaker than the surrounding ligaments and tendons.

Repetitive throwing stress on an immature skeleton creates injury patterns that simply don't

occur in adult athletes — including Little League Elbow (medial apophysitis) and Little League

Shoulder (proximal humeral epiphysiolysis).

Warning Signs Every Parent Should Know

• Elbow pain on the inside (medial) aspect — the most common location

• Shoulder pain at the very top of the arm, especially with follow-through

• Decreased throwing velocity or sudden loss of control

• Pain that persists into the next day after pitching

• Any audible pop during throwing

The Pitch Count Problem

Most leagues now mandate pitch counts, but the rules don't account for total arm stress from

playing multiple positions (catcher to pitcher), travel ball, showcases, and year-round

competition. The cumulative load is what causes damage — not any single game.

How We Help

• Thoracic spine and cervical mobilization to optimize shoulder mechanics

• Shoulder and elbow soft tissue therapy

• Assessment of hip and core mechanics — the real source of pitching velocity

• Communication with coaches about appropriate load management

Ready to Feel Better? We Can Help!

If your young pitcher has been dealing with arm pain or soreness that persists, our team at

Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes is here to help. We

specialize in sports chiropractic care for active people of all ages.
