The thoracic spine is the most stable part of the spine and consists of 12 thoracic vertebrae. It helps to protect the internal organs. The treatment of thoracic spine injuries depends on the type of injury. A sports injury may need exercise and stretching to treat the injury. Tramatic spine injuries usually require surgery either anteriorally or posteriorally.
After a thoracic spine injury, one must rest, ice, compress, and elevate the injury before assessing if medical attention is needed. Exercises/stretches that allow proper healing are also needed.
You will need to talk to your doctor about it. The doctor will know what to do for it. Your doctor will tell you how they treat it, and what is needed.
