Mid back pain is most commonly caused by irritation or injury to the muscles and ligaments of the thoracic spine. The high incidence of poor postural habits, lack of adequate exercise and muscle conditioning, as well as the increase in sedentary or seated lifestyles of Americans are all major contributors.

Frequent causes of mid-back pain include:

	Overhead reaching
	Improper bending or twisting
	Forceful coughing or sneezing
	Trauma
	Motor vehicle accidents
	Sports injuries
