Mid Back Pain

Injuries, strains, excessive use, bad posture, and other factors can all contribute to middle back discomfort, which can have unthinkable consequences for your life. Although it can occur at any age, middle back pain is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50. The spine may be more prone to an injury and often shows signs of wear and tear. While we understand intense or sharp pain is unbearable and, if not taken care of on time, can cause more damage. Although undeniably true, we can help patients get effective pain treatment and back on their feet. Our pain management techniques focus on patient-centered care.

Why Do People Get Mid-Back Pain?

Mild to severe symptoms are possible. For instance, muscle aches, stiffness, dull or stabbing pain, and burning sensation are common, but chest pain and weakness in the legs or arms can be severe. Many reasons can trigger mid-back pain but some of them are:

• Traumatic injury
• Arthritis
• Improper posture
• Disease
• Strain

How Is Mid Back Pain Diagnosed?

The first stage in the healing process is diagnosis. After carefully reviewing the patient’s medical history, symptoms, or indicators, the healthcare professional performs a physical examination. The care team will examine the head, abdomen, arms, legs, and legs during a physical exam. Then, a neurological test is performed to check the status of the spinal cord and nerve endings. Meanwhile, imaging tests produce pictures that reveal if the patient has a fracture, bone degeneration, or other causes of middle back pain. Some of the tests are:

• X-ray
• CT scan
• MRI
• Ultrasound

This helps determine any damage to the spine and decide an appropriate course of action and treatment.
