About This Condition
Mid back (thoracic spine) pain is often overlooked but can be quite debilitating, affecting breathing, posture, and daily activities. This area is prone to rib dysfunction, facet joint restrictions, and postural strain from desk work. At Optimal Movement, we specialize in thoracic spine care. Chiropractic adjustments restore mobility to stiff mid back joints and correct rib misalignments that can cause sharp pain with breathing or movement. Therapeutic massage releases the deep paraspinal muscles and addresses trigger points that refer pain around the ribcage. We also provide postural exercises and workstation modifications to prevent recurrence.
