Thoracic strain/sprain Thoracic strain/sprain. What is a strain/sprain of the thoracic region? The thoracic region describes the vertebrae in the middle of the spine and is often referred to as the mid back. Technically speaking it runs from the base of the neck to just below the rib cage. A strain is when a muscle is overstretched or overloaded to the point where the muscle fiber fails or tears. A sprain is when a ligament is overstretched or overloaded to the point where the ligament fails or tears. Strains and sprains are common in the thoracic region of the spine.

Thoracic spine x-ray Thoracic spine x-ray. A thoracic spine x-ray is an x-ray of the twelve chest (thoracic) bones (vertebrae). The vertebrae are separated by flat pads of cartilage called disks that provide a cushion between the bones. The test is done in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office.

Conditions & Treatments - T4 Syndrome Conditions & Treatments - T4 Syndrome. The thoracic spine region is comprised of 12 vertebrae and the rib cage with its articulations which enhance the stability of the thoracic spine (1, 2). In the vertebral column, the compressive load at T1 is about 9% of body weight, increasing to 33% at T8 and 47% at T12 (1).

Thoracic Spine Fracture Definition/Description. Most thoracic spine fractures occur in the lower thoracic spine, with 60% to 70% of thoracolumbar fractures occurring in the T11 to L2 region, which is the biomechanically weak for stress. The majority of these fractures occur without spinal cord injury.

Upper Back The spine in the upper back and abdomen is known as the thoracic spine. It is one of the three major sections of the spinal column. The thoracic spine sits between the cervical spine in the neck and the lumbar spine in the lower back. Collectively, these three sections make a tower of 24 bones that gives the body structure and houses the spinal cord. The spinal cord and its nerves facilitate communication

- The ligaments that connect the ribs to the spine including the ligaments between the spinus processes are often injured in a flexion injury like with a ball on the upper back and are aggravated by poor posture. Prolotherapy correctly applied to the ligaments of the ribs and chest strengthens them.

What are thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine injuries? Another possible complication of a TLS injury is that significant compression of the spine can lead to a disc protruding into the spinal cord space. This can cause paralysis. Symptoms of a spine injury in the thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions can include: Neck or back pain, especially when moved.
