May be due to spasm: What you describe may be scoliosis, which is sometimes congenital, but often due to muscle spasm. Moist heat and stretching, followed by ice, may help to improve the symptoms. Use a hot wet towel for 5-10 min, then sidebend the upper thoracic by reaching up over your head to the other side and stretching. After doing both sides, cool down with cold wet cloths or an ice pack.

Thoracic pain: I would strongly suggest an MRI both of the neck and thoracic region. If that is benign then pt is the next step.
