About Mid back pain
Mid back pain refers to pain in the “thoracic” spine. This is the area
from the shoulders down to the mid back area. Pain in this area can be
for a variety of reasons, but typically occurs from poor posture or a
forward slouched posture. With this posture, your back muscles stretch
out, causing weakness.
Pain can often feel like a burning or sometimes shooting pain to the mid back area. At times, pain can even feel like it is radiating under the shoulder blade. However, with most mid back pain, it can be difficult to really pinpoint the area it is hurting.
How physical therapy helps
Physical therapy is very important in treating mid back pain. Our
physical therapists work with you to discover spinal areas that may not
be moving ideally. This limitation in movement can cause strain on the
sections above and below that affected area. By improving spinal joint
mobility, soothing sore muscles and restoring posture, your mid back
pain can be relieved quite quickly.
We then educate you on proper strengthening and postural techniques to maintain your gains in therapy. Call us today to discover how we can relieve your mid back pain quickly and return you to a pain-free life.
