Causes of thoracic spinal pain

The symptoms of thoracic pain may be caused because of different reasons, so it is extremely dangerous to do a self-diagnosis and try and treat the condition. A medical professional will be able to correctly identify the cause and recommend the most suitable remedy for it. Some of the main causes of thoracic spine pin are:

·      Degenerative Disc- 

     The support and flexibility of the spine might get reduced because of the loss of fluid in the discs of the vertebrae as you grow old.

·        Osteoporosis or Arthritis- 

    When the power of repairing the old and worn out bones gets diminished, the bones become quite weak and fragile.

·        Poor Posture- 

     The spine, shoulders and the back can get badly affected because of poor posture. It weakens the   bones in the region and makes them more stressed and strained.

·        Spinal Curvature- 

     This type of condition causes the spine to abnormally curve in a certain direction. It results in         straining particular parts of the spine.

·        Spinal Stenosis-

       It is a type of a rare degenerative condition and is caused when the spinal canal become narrow.
