Thoracic disc herniation is a condition that occurs when the soft center of an intervertebral disc bulges out of its shell-like casing. In the limited space of your spine, it may seep between your vertebrae and into your spinal canal. The discs have a tough exterior, called the annulus, with a softer center. They provide cushioning to absorb shock and prevent damage to the vertebrae whenever you move your spine.
A herniated disc in the thoracic spine causes pain isolated to your upper back or radiating only to your chest or belly. Some of these symptoms can lead to a misdiagnosis if you don’t consult a spine specialist. This spinal condition also comes with other debilitating symptoms that alter the quality of your life. An early diagnosis delivers more effective thoracic herniated disc treatment.
Dr. Amr Hosny is a board-certified, Harvard trained, interventional spine specialist who can successfully treat your thoracic disc herniation. The pain doctor works with other spine specialists at the Spine & Rehab Group in New York City and northern New Jersey. The team uses the latest medical technology for spine disorder diagnoses and effective treatment.

When a thoracic disc ruptures, the soft inner material spills into the spinal canal and causes pressure on the nerve roots. The nucleus pulposus material can also cause chemical irritation of those nerve roots, leading to pain and discomfort. For effective treatment of a herniated thoracic disc, your doctor has to identify the underlying cause. Common causes of disc herniation include:

Sienna G. ★★★★★After a month of experiencing some leg pain, I went to a nearby primary care physician who subsequently diagnosed me with sciatica. He administered a few steroid injections and sent me off...
...of course, the pain came back. I was referred to Dr. Chu by a friend and I was able to arrange an appointment quickly and without too much hassle. After a thorough examination, he recommended a few more tests but suspected I had a herniated disk in my back, which was a much more serious condition than what the primary care physician diagnosed. I'm thankful that Dr. Chu was so thorough with his diagnosis and the treatment and care that I received at The Spine & Rehab Group was excellent. The staff is friendly and I felt comfortable throughout the treatment period.
I highly recommend this practice to anyone experiencing pain issues.
