Upper back pain
Upper back pain, also called middle back pain or thoracic pain, is pain that is felt between the bottom of the neck and top of the lumbar spine. The upper spine is designed to be very strong and stable to support the weight of the upper body, as well as provide a cavity to allow the heart and lungs to function and protect them.
