Home » Procedures & Treatments » Mid-back | Thoracic

Dr. Skovrlj’s approach to thoracic spine treatment emphasizes minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, particularly given the complexity of operating near vital organs and the rib cage. Surgical interventions may include thoracic decompression, fusion procedures, or tumor removal, depending on the underlying condition. Using state-of-the-art imaging and microsurgical techniques, Dr. Skovrlj can access and treat thoracic spine conditions while minimizing tissue disruption and optimizing patient recovery.

What Is the Thoracic Part of the Spine?

What Problems Cause Pain Issues in the Middle of the Back?

Thoracic spine pain can result from various conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or compression fractures often associated with osteoporosis. Other causes may include postural problems, sports injuries, or occupational stress from heavy lifting or repetitive movements. Thoracic spine issues may also develop from systemic conditions such as multiple sclerosis or specific types of arthritis. When thoracic problems occur, patients might experience mid-back pain, radiating chest wall pain, or difficulty with trunk rotation and bending.
