Description and symptoms of thoracic osteochondrosis

Back pain due to thoracic osteochondrosisThoracic osteochondrosis is one of the most common diseases. It is damage to the intervertebral disc that causes changes in its structure and shape. It is important to note that changes in the spine gradually progress with age, so that by the age of 40, the vast majority of people have this disease.Degenerative disc disease (osteochondrosis) of the thoracic spine is a relatively rare condition compared with other parts of the spine.This is because the ribcage stabilizes the thoracic spine, limiting movement and damage to the rest of the spine from constant flexion and extension. If osteochondrosis occurs in the thoracic spine, its development is usually associated with injury.

Symptoms of chest osteochondrosis

  • ongoing stress;
  • changes in hormonal levels;
  • Metabolic disorders;
  • Excessive physical pressure on the thoracic spine;
  • genetic defects of the spine;
  • As we age, the intervertebral discs change and the water saturation of these tissues decreases;
  • Disc injuries (improper sports activities, falls, or impacts);
  • The blood supply to the area is blocked.
