Thoracic back pain refers to discomfort in the thoracic spine, which is in the upper back, primarily between the shoulder blades. While this type of pain is common, it usually does not last for an extended period.

The most frequent cause of thoracic back pain is inflammation. Other causes include sudden sprains, poor posture, myofascial trigger points, overuse injuries, and vertebral fractures. Additionally, conditions such as osteoporosis, spinal infections, and shingles (especially in people over 60) may also contribute to thoracic back pain.

Treatment options depend on the specific cause of the thoracic spine issue, its severity, and your overall health. If you have persistent upper back pain, we can determine the best treatment plan for your situation.
