Common Causes of Thoracic Back Pain
The thoracic spine is composed of 12 vertebrae between the neck and lower back. Pain in this region can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:
- Poor posture and prolonged sitting
- Muscle strain or myofascial pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Thoracic facet joint arthritis
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Scoliosis or kyphosis
- Thoracic radiculopathy (nerve compression)
- Sports injuries or trauma
At IROSM, we use advanced diagnostics and imaging to accurately identify the root cause of your pain and personalize your treatment plan.
Comprehensive Treatment Options at IROSM
We take a multidisciplinary, minimally invasive approach to managing thoracic back pain, combining traditional therapies with innovative regenerative techniques.
1. Physical Therapy and Postural Rehabilitation
Many times just a little physical therapy could help get you feeling better. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in restoring strength, flexibility, and proper posture. Physical therapists focus on:
- Core strengthening and spinal stabilization
- Ergonomic training
- Myofascial release techniques
- Breathing and mobility exercises
2. Image-Guided Injections
For patients who do not respond to conservative care, fluoroscopic or ultrasound-guided injections can provide targeted relief:
- Facet joint injections
- Medial branch blocks
- Trigger point injections
- Epidural steroid injections (if nerve involvement is present)
These procedures offer both diagnostic insight and therapeutic benefit.
