Many patients experiencing mid-back or thoracic area problems have been treated effectively with Prolotherapy.
Some statistical data says that thoracic problems are not as common as neck or low back problems; however, at Prolotherapy Florida almost every patient with neck problems has a significant amount of thoracic discomfort as well. These problems co-exist and complicate one another and usually require simultaneous treatment.
Middle back problems can be caused by various factors including poor body posture while driving or working at the computer, strenuous sports activity, or car accidents. Some complicating factors are scoliosis, large natural breasts, breast enlargement surgery, surgery of the thoracic spine utilizing metal rods and surgery for cervical or lumbar disc with fusion. Many patients with these problems had significant relief after Prolotherapy.
The most common causes of thoracic problems are ligaments and tendons, facet and costotransverse joints (joints between the rib and transverse process of the thoracic vertebrae). All these areas are usually addressed during treatment and improve after a Prolotherapy regimen of six to eight series spaced three to six weeks apart.
