From Injury to Performance

What Is Mid-Back or Rib Pain?

Mid-back pain — often called thoracic pain — can result from joint stiffness, muscle strain, or irritation between the ribs and spine.
It commonly occurs from prolonged sitting, poor posture, heavy lifting, or awkward sleeping positions.
Rib joint restriction can also cause sharp pain with breathing, twisting, or coughing.

At Summit Osteo & Performance, we identify the underlying restriction or load pattern contributing to pain and use hands-on care and movement rehab to restore comfort and control.
