Description
he thoracic spine comprises the twelve vertebrae to which the ribs attach and could, therefore, be described as the “upper back” region. When compared with neck (cervical) pain, middle back pain and lower (lumbar) back pain, pain in the thoracic region of the spine has a greater probability of being caused by a serious underlying condition.
