Lately I've had really bad upper back pain (between shoulder blades and below). It only hurts after I've been asleep for a while. During the day the pain is gone. It comes back after I've slept like 5-6 hours. The pain is so intense, its a struggle to even roll over from one side to the other. I've tried changing my sleep posture and it doesn't do anything. The pain comes regardless of whether I sleep on my side, reclined, inclined, etc...

So, I think I need to see a doctor or a chiropractor, or anyone that can help.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm located in Seoul close to Gangnam.

I posted this on another thread

I know a few chiropractors. One in Gangnam is Dr. Andrew Park. Here's his website with info:

The others I know are in Itaewon.

1. New York Wholistic Care (Dr. Vincent Jong)

2. Create Wellness (Dr. Will Choi)

I usually go to New York Wholistic. Dr. Jong is quite gentle. I do sometimes visit Dr. Will at Create Wellness. He does more sports injury technique.

I've been to Dr. Park in Gangnam once. He was quite gentle as well.

Hope this helps.
