The thoracic spine is the middle part of the spine, consisting of twelve vertebrae that connect the cervical spine (neck) to the lumbar spine (lower back). It has movements into flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation. The thoracic spine is connected to the ribs, forming the ribcage. Its function is to provide stability and protection to critical organs such as lungs, heart and diaphragm. As a result of its attachments to the ribs and the sternum, the thoracic spine generally has less mobility compared to the cervical or lumbar spine. This is compounded by the fact that our lives are generally sedentary and a large portion of the time is spent sitting. This region of the spine is often overlooked in training but is critical for maintaining good posture, breathing, and overall movement. When facing an injury, it is crucial to undergo physical therapy for upper back pain in Riverwalk Village to restore normal function and prevent the injury from worsening.
