The mid-back is the middle region of the spine and contains the spinal bones called thoracic vertebrae.

Each of these bones is connected to two opposing ribs.  The mid-section of the spine is also connected to a variety of muscles and connective tissue that make up the middle portion of your back.  The thoracic vertebrae, like the rest of the spinal column, also provide protection for the nerves of your spine and your spinal cord.  Due to a smaller range of motion, the mid-back is less susceptible to the injury, wear and tear that affects the upper and lower back.  However, active lifestyles, posture, office environments and other influences can cause pain and discomfort in the mid-back.  If you are experiencing pain in the mid-back, you should contact the healthcare experts at In Motion today.

Pain in the mid-back is most commonly caused by injury or irritation to the muscles and connective tissues.  This can happen because of improper rehabilitation from a prior injury, poor posture, stress, exercise, and long hours spent sitting at computers.  A more serious mid-back condition can occur when the spinal bones become misaligned, leading to muscle strain, spasm and nerve dysfunction.  Mid-back pain can be the result of extraordinary circumstances or something as simple as the way you sit at your desk.  If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your mid-back, the experts at In Motion can help.
