What Is a Thoracic Disc Herniation?
Your spine is composed of a column of vertebral bones, and in between each bone is a soft, pliable disc. These discs keep your vertebrae from rubbing against each other, providing flexibility and fluidity to your spine. Discs are also the shock absorbers of the spine. But when a disc in the middle of your back is damaged and the inner gel leaks out, the result is a thoracic disc herniation that can cause back pain and stiffness.
At NU-Spine, spine center in Edison, New Jersey, Dr. Branko Skovrlj, carries out extensive diagnostic testing for spinal problems to determine the source of your pain. An experienced and compassionate neurosurgeon, Dr. Skovrlj relies on state-of-the-art spinal medicine practices. Using the latest technology, he provides effective, results-based thoracic herniated disc treatment.
What Causes Thoracic Herniated Disc Pain?
Your thoracic spine stretches from the bottom of your neck to the bottom of your ribcage. Herniated discs in your mid-back are often caused by:
- A back injury that involves trauma to the upper area of your back
- Degenerative disc disease, a gradual wear and tear on the disc due to age — although degenerative disc disease more often strikes discs in your cervical spine and lumbar spine
- Cracked vertebrae
- A compression injury in your mid-back
- Weakened discs due to repeated injuries in the same area
- Changes in the shape of your vertebrae
Dr. Skovrlj uses a multi-disciplinary approach to deliver the best treatment for a herniated disc in the thoracic spine. Contact NU-Spine today to get the help you need to improve the quality of your life.
