About Thoracic Back Pain

定义

Thoracic 回来 pain happens in the middle and upper part of the 回来.

原因

The 回来 has many small 骨头, muscles, and soft tissues that surround and protect the spinal cord. Nerves also leave the spinal cord in the 回来. Thoracic 回来 pain may be 导致d by stress, strain, or injury to any of these structures, such as:

  • Muscle strains
  • Ligament sprains
  • Gradual wear and tear of tissue
  • Fractures of the vertebra (spinal 骨头)
  • Nerve compression—pressure on nerves that exit the spine may be 导致d by problems with muscles, 骨头, or disc between vertebra
  • A herniated disc—damage to cushions that sit between the vertebra
  • An imbalance of muscles that support the spine

很少, thoracic 回来 pain may be 导致d by more serious problems like an infection in the spine, heart or lung problems, 或癌症.
