Middle and Upper Back Pain

Middle back pain and upper back pain, also called the thoracic spine region, is not as common as lower back pain or neck pain, but can be very painful and symptomatic. At The Spine & Rehab Group, our group of Back Pain Specialists in New Jersey focuses on the non-surgical treatment of middle and upper back pain to get you feeling better.

While the bones of the lower back allow for flexibility and movement, the bones of the middle and upper back provide protection to your vital organs.

Other symptoms associated with mid back pain and upper back pain include; burning or sharp pain in the middle of the back, a feeling of tightness in the muscles of the middle or upper back, stiffness in the back, weakness or tingling of the legs (sciatica) and limited movement.
