Mid Back Pain Treatment
Understanding Mid Back Pain
Mid back pain, also known as thoracic spine pain, refers to discomfort or pain in the area of the spine between the neck and the lower back. At the Pain Clinic of Northwest Florida, we specialize in providing comprehensive treatment options to alleviate mid back pain and help you regain comfort and improved quality of life.
Causes of Mid Back Pain:
- Muscle Strain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can strain the muscles and ligaments in the mid back, leading to pain.
- Joint Dysfunction: Dysfunction in the joints of the thoracic spine, such as facet joint syndrome or thoracic disc herniation, can cause mid back pain.
- Spinal Conditions: Conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis, or spinal stenosis can contribute to mid back pain.
- Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting, slouching, or improper lifting techniques can strain the mid back and lead to pain.
- Injury or Trauma: Accidents, falls, or sports-related injuries can result in mid back pain.
Symptoms of Mid Back Pain:
- Localized Pain: Mid back pain is typically felt in the area between the shoulder blades or along the spine.
- Muscle Stiffness: Individuals with mid back pain may experience stiffness or tightness in the muscles of the thoracic spine.
- Limited Range of Motion: Pain or stiffness in the mid back can restrict movements and limit the ability to twist or bend.
- Radiating Pain: In some cases, mid back pain may radiate to the chest, abdomen, or arms.
