Local Laguna Hills, CA Chiropractor Provides Relief For Those Suffering With Mid-Back Pain

By Earlene Silversmith


If your back hurts an experienced Laguna Hills chiropractor may be able to help. Pain in the mid section of the back can be just as difficult as low back pain. If you need to find relief from this problem, chiropractic care offers some of the most modern and up to date procedures.

Your mid back (thoracic) area can cause many different problems in some cases. You might experience a feeling of numbness or tingling in your arms, or pain may extend all the way to the fingers. Pain can sometimes be felt in the rib cage or sternum area too. This is what is known as "referred pain".

Referred pain means that you feel pain sensations in one part of the body and they originate from somewhere else. This is common when your pain is caused by nerve irritation or impingement. For example, nerves that serve the arms, chest, and back, run through the thoracic or mid part of the spine. When they are impinged, pain may be transmitted along the nerve pathways.

Sometimes nerves within one's spine can get inflamed when the spine is out of alignment. Your spine is made of soft discs between vertebrae (bones). The human spine is home to a huge nerve network that passes information from the brain to all body parts.

Your spine can lose its natural alignment when you are involved in some kind of accident that causes injury. This may also occur if you go through life with poor posture or sit at a desk that is not ergonomically designed. All day long as you sit, you are stretching muscles and making them tight, and spinal adjustment can be effective therapy.

If you think you may have a mid back problem, your Laguna Hills chiropractor is the person to see. You will receive an exam and consultation and many modern choices for therapy. Most procedures are covered under health care insurance.
