A member asked:

Can you please suggest treatment or stretches for herniated disc in thoracic spine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Andre Panagos answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Myofascial release: Treatments include myofascial release and targeted injections to temporarily relieve any pain and muscle spasms you may have. Stretches are tough to do as the thoracic spine is a fairly rigid structure.

Dr Kozminski agreed
