What is thoracic spine pain?
The thoracic spine extends through the mid-back and provides stability to the upper body. It sits above the lumbar spine in the lower back and supports the cervical spine in the neck. This area of the spine contains many vertebrae, discs, and nerves that can become damaged, leading to chronic pain in the arms, hands, chest, and legs.
