Understanding Upper and Middle Back Pain

Upper and middle back pain can manifest anywhere from the base of your neck to the bottom of your ribcage. The thoracic spine, consisting of 12 vertebrae, discs, and muscles and ligaments that hold the spine together, forms the upper and middle back region. This area works in conjunction with the ribs to provide stability to the spine while safeguarding vital organs like the heart and lungs.

While upper and middle back pain is less common compared to low back pain or neck pain, it can still cause significant discomfort. The relatively limited range of motion in this area, compared to the lower back or neck, contributes to its lesser occurrence. However, when issues arise, they can impact daily activities and hinder overall well-being.
