Thoracic sprains and back sprains are among the most common causes of lower back pain. The thoracic region of your spine describes the middle of the spine, referred to as the mid-back. It connects to your rib cage, which protects your heart and lungs.
Your back is made up of ligaments and muscles that control movement, maintain your posture and support the lower back and pelvis. Extreme pressure due to overstretching or overloading can lead to a sprain, which is when a ligament fails or tears. A sprained ligament in your back affects your quality of life due to the pain, soreness and other uncomfortable symptoms.
If you’re experiencing nagging back pain and tenderness, get a diagnosis from a spine doctor for early treatment. At the Spine & Rehab Group in New York City and northern New Jersey, Dr. Amr Hosny leads a team of spine specialists who leverage cutting-edge technology to deliver thoracic spine sprain treatment.
