The spinal cord is one of the most essential components in our body structure. It houses part of the central nervous system (CNS), which aids us with our reflexes, sensory processing, and many more functions relevant to our daily life. The spinal cord also supports our neck and head as well as keeping us upright and straight as a whole. A spinal cord injury is when some damage or fracture to the spinal cord affects its structure and function, and it can be extremely debilitating and life-changing. This is because it can affect the CNS which is in charge of motor and sensory function.

The thoracic portion of the spine is the middle portion of the spinal cord and consists of twelve vertebrae. These injuries are not typically considered life-threatening, but damage to this area can cause serious issues particularly with the ribs. Early treatment is key to a better outcome and recovery with thoracic spine injuries.

Treatment for thoracic spine injuries may consist of surgery to clean up, repair, and realign the injured area. Surgery can also help to decompress the spinal cord. A form of therapy called spinal traction is a type of therapy that can help to decompress the spine and relieve pressure. Also, medications such as methylprednisolone may be used to reduce inflammation. Back braces can also help to ease back pain. Depending on the severity of the patient’s injury, they will receive any sort of combination of these treatments with the goal of a better and faster recovery.
