Mid Back pain
Mid back pain is one of the most common complaints that patients report when they first visit the Ipswich Spine Clinic. The mid back area is called the “dorsal” or “thoracic” spine. There are normally twelve bones with twelve matching pairs of ribs that make up the mid back area.
Relief Is Closer Than It Seems
However, it doesn’t have to be all bad news. Over the years, we have treated thousands of patients, and a very high percentage have found their way back to recovery – even when it seemed there was no light at the end of the tunnel.If you experience tightness in your mid back, visit the Ipswich Spine Clinic immediately to determine its cause and to design a care plan specific to your needs.
Cause of your Mid back pain
Symptoms of mid back pain can range from muscle tightness and spasms, trigger points (areas of acute spasm and pain), restricted range of motion when bending or twisting, and sharp or stabbing pains from the back, radiating to the front. The rib cage can also become distorted causing symptoms that mimic respiratory or cardiac problems such as shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat and fast or slow heart rhythms. This is why it is vital that you are evaluated whenever mid back pain or symptoms occur. The Ipswich Spine Clinic specialises in the musculoskeletal system and biomechanical-related functions. A complete examination combined with history will help determine the origin of the problem and how best to proceed. A corrective care plan can then be put in place to alleviate symptoms and correct underlying problems.
Relief Begins with the Right Support
Whether you choose to proceed with treatment is entirely your decision. If the care you need is beyond our scope, we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare professional. Book your Appointment today and take the first step toward lasting back pain relief.
