Thoracic means check and it includes the portions of the
spine that are related to the chest area. There are twelve small bones to the
upper spine and are attached to the side part of the rib and to the breastbone
in front. This is the cage that protects the internal organs of the person such
as the liver, heart and lungs. Your central nervous system is also being
protected by the spine that normally manages the feelings, messaging, movement
to the brains especially the hormones, nutrients and chemicals that are essential
for living.
You can be susceptible to back pain where there are
mechanical problems to your spinal column and to the surrounding muscles. Some of
these mechanical problems are the herniated disc, scoliosis, muscle tension,
lordosis or kyphosis as well as the disc regeneration and sway back or hump
back. Your spine full function can be affected by these mechanical problems
that normally affect the range of motion and pains. With the help of
chiropractic care, this pain can be resolved. You can contact ChiroCarolina for
more details on how the Charlotte chiropractors can provide you the relief you
need for back pain.
