You’re more likely to get neck, upper back or lower back pain than mid-back pain, but when you do, it may indicate a serious underlying condition. Middle back pain requires immediate medical attention to make sure you’re not suffering a heart attack. Call the nearest office of the Spine & Rehab Group in NYC or northern NJ to consult with expert spine specialists who know what to look for. Dr. Amr Hosny relies on the latest medical technology to diagnose the cause of your pain. Call today.
Middle back pain can be dangerous if its cause is a serious underlying medical condition that shows up as back pain. Instances of middle back pain, however, are rare. Low back pain is much more common, stemming from a condition such as degenerative disc disease or a herniated disc. Even neck pain occurs more frequently than mid-back pain, due to neck injuries or conditions like a slipped disc or neck sprain.
Since middle back pain can have serious implications, consult a middle back pain doctor for an accurate diagnosis. The best mid-back pain specialists practice at the Spine & Rehab Group in various locations in New York City and throughout northern New Jersey. Dr. Amr Hosny and the team of middle back pain specialists have years of experience treating both upper back pain and middle back pain.

Poor posture is the main reason for the middle back pain. The thoracic spine is the area between the base of your neck and your lower ribs. It forms the backside of your rib cage. This part of your spine gives you stability while protecting vital organs like the heart, lungs and liver.
When you slouch or slump, you put extra pressure on the spinal components, including the muscles, ligaments, discs and vertebrae, which in time can cause wear-and-tear problems. Several factors can cause mid-back pain, including:
Middle back pain can be an indication of several life-threatening diseases, such as a heart attack, an aortic aneurysm or pleurisy. Sometimes, these conditions can manifest as mid-back pain on the right side — along with jaw pain, a loss of bladder or bowel control and severe abdominal pain. Consult your doctor immediately if your middle back starts hurting. Seek medical help if:

After many useless, frustrating experiences with physical therapists I found The Spine & Rehab Group excellent services and staff, and finally saw the benefits of good physical therapy.
Since my first experience for neck pain about 4 years ago, I have returned for mid-back and low-back issues, and, over the course of treatment, have always improved (except for one time where I was unaware of a tear in an arm tendon, and Carol, my expert physical therapist, recognized the problem and advised me to return to my surgeon).
All in all, a great experience on both the physician (I see Dr. Mehta, who always spends the time to explain why I am in pain and how to alleviate it) and the physical therapy sides ofThe Spine & Rehab Group.
I visited The Spine and Rehab center and I'm so happy I did. Dr. Hosny was very patient, extremely knowledgeable and best of all he truly cares about his patients well being. I traveled from Fair Lawn, NJ to Paramus, NJ. I've been dealing with neck and back pain for 15 years, but Dr. Hosny is by far the best.
Kris EffertzYour middle back pain treatment depends on the severity of your condition, but you must get an accurate diagnosis first. Remember the long list of possible causes of mid-back pain. You need an experienced doctor who’s familiar with spine issues to determine the source of your pain before you can have it treated.
Don’t try to relieve mild pain with over-the-counter pain medications and hot or cold compresses. When it’s your middle back that’s hurting, consult a spine specialist. You may need to undergo minimally invasive pain management techniques to combat your pain thoroughly. These treatment techniques include:
