The
Thoracic Spine
The Thoracic Spine, commonly referred
to as your middle back, consists of 12 vertebrae, (T1 - T12). This is the
longest portion of your back. Each
of these vertebrae has a pair of ribs attached to them. The nerves that
exit out between these vertebrae go to muscles and other surface tissues as well
as internal organs.
Some
of the surface areas these nerves go to include parts of the arms from the
elbows down, the hands, and fingers. Also the muscles of the middle back, the
chest muscles, and muscles of the
rib cage are supplied by nerves that exit out from this area of the
spine.
Pain or numbness and other
musculoskeletal problems may be just some of the possible results from
subluxations affecting these areas and tissues.
The
internal organs supplied by nerves from the thoracic spine include much of the
body parts supplied by the sympathetic nervous system. This portion of the
nervous system innervates
many of the organs in the chest and abdomen including, the heart, lungs,
bronchial tubes, gallbladder, liver, stomach, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands,
kidneys, and small intestines. Subluxations affecting these organs can lead
to a large list of functional and systemic problems including, asthma, certain
heart problems, bronchitis, blood pressure problems, ulcers, allergies, kidney
trouble, and digestive problems, to name only a few. Most subluxations affecting
these areas go undetected for a long time before a health problem is ever
noticed.
