The mid back area is highly reactive and can compensate for the pelvis and lower back region or the upper neck and cervical spine area. Sitting at a computer or driving for long periods of time are two common origins of mid back-related pain. Mid back pain can also be associated with a referred pain or complication from one of the organ systems in the body such as the liver or kidneys.
Mid back pain is one of the most common complaints that patients report when they first visit a chiropractor. the mid back area is called the thoracic spine. There are normally twelve bones with a matching twelve pairs of ribs that make up the mid back area.
Symptoms of mid back pain can range from muscle tightness and spasms, trigger points (areas of acute spasm and pain), restricted range of motion when bending or twisting and sharp or stabbing pains from the back, radiating to the front. the rib cage can also become distorted causing symptoms that mimic respiratory or cardiac problems such as shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat and fast or slow heart rhythms.
This is whyb you should be evaluated by a doctor of chiropractic whenever mid back pain or symptoms occur. Dr Parker specializes in the musculoskeletal system and its biomechanical-related functions.
