Why your mid back starts to ache.
Your mid back, the thoracic spine, is built for stability, anchoring your ribs and supporting your posture all day long. Because it moves less than your neck or lower back, pain here often builds quietly: from hours hunched at a desk, repetitive reaching, or muscles that fatigue and tighten trying to hold you upright.
Sometimes the ache is muscular, a strain between the shoulder blades that flares with certain movements. Other times it traces back to the joints and discs of the thoracic spine, or to posture patterns that load this region day after day until it finally protests.
At Cavanaugh Chiropractic in Lafayette, we look past the sore spot to the mechanics behind it. Pinpointing why your mid back hurts is what lets us relieve it, and help keep it from returning.
