The mid-back (or thoracic spine) is often overlooked. But pain anywhere, including the mid-back, is a sign something needs to change or something is not doing its job quite right.
Mid-back pain is also common during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Seek urgent medical care (GP, A&E, or call 112/999) if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or buttocks, progressive leg or arm weakness, or pain with fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or breathlessness.
Whatever the cause of your mid-back pain, we’d like to help. We offer a range of physiotherapy treatments.
What Causes Mid-Back Pain?
Mid-back pain is more common than people realize. Mid-back pain usually starts as tightness or stiffness between the shoulder blades and progresses into a painful condition.
It can be caused by many different things, but some of the most common causes are – referred pain for the neck or shoulder, changes during pregnancy/postpartum, or degenerative changes, or inflammation of the joints of the mid-back.
Your physiotherapist will assess your mid-back pain and talk you through treatment options.

How We Help People With Mid-Back Pain In Dublin, Ireland
We offer individualised physiotherapy designed around you, whether your goal is a sport, walking, getting back to work or climbing stairs again.
Physical Therapy Care
Your physiotherapist will tailor treatment to you.
Physiotherapy may combine hands-on therapy such as massage and joint mobilisation with exercise therapy to rebuild strength and confidence.
Whatever your activity, we’ll design a rehab programme for you.
Laser Therapy
We also offer high-power laser therapy.
Laser therapy uses light applied to the skin over the painful area. The evidence for it is mixed, and results vary.
Laser therapy is non-invasive.
Chiropractic Care
We also offer spinal decompression and chiropractic adjustments for mid-back pain and stiffness. The research on traction for back pain and sciatica is limited, and clinical guidelines don’t recommend it as a routine treatment. We only use it as an optional addition to an exercise-based plan, review it at the sixth visit, and stop if it isn’t helping. Decompression is generally well tolerated. Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, such as temporary soreness. It isn’t suitable for everyone — see who shouldn’t have it.
