Dr. Nick Scott discusses Thoracic Back Pain.

Thoracic pain also known as the mid back or upper back pain is much less common than low back or neck pain.

The word Thoracic means pertaining to the chest; hence the Thoracic spine forms the back of the chest wall.

There are many probable causes of Thoracic pain including spinal stenosis and hematomas, disease of the spinal column like a compression fracture tumor, and scoliosis can also cause problems in the thoracic spine.

Diagnosis of thoracic can be difficult because of the number of factors and possibilities. Just like causes of thoracic pain, the treatments are varied.

Your doctor should perform a comprehensive physical exam to get to the root of the issue. Some treatments might include physical therapy, exercise, proper nutrition and yoga to provide long and short term relief.
