Chest pain | Vertebral blockage in the BWS – solve it yourself

Chest pain

Chest pain can occur due to a vertebral blockage in the BWS. This is often perceived as threatening by the patient, as it is often a stabbing pain associated with heart problems. If accompanying symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea or similar occur, organic problems should also be urgently clarified by a doctor.

In the case of chest pain caused by a blockage of the vertebrae in the BWS, this is usually dependent on movement, breathing or posture and should remain without any other accompanying symptoms. The blockage can irritate the intercostal nerves, which originate from the spinal cord in spinal cord pain and supply the thorax and the ribs with sensitive and motoric energy. Irritation leads to belt-like pain in the course of a rib.

A shooting stabbing pain in the chest region (e.g. during inhalation) is also possible. The pain should disappear quickly after the blockage is released. Learn more about this under: Physiotherapy for chest pain

Effects

Blockages in the thoracic spine initially have no major effects except for the sometimes stressful severe acute symptoms, which can restrict the patient’s everyday life. If blockages occur more frequently, the cause should be clarified. Unilateral incorrect loading and recurring blockages can put the joint under severe strain and lead to later arthrotic changes.

This is known as facet joint arthrosis, which can be very painful and lead to a permanent functional disorder with loss of spinal movement. A causal therapy with posture correction and a balanced strength and mobilization training can counteract these effects. A permanent single setting-in does not help the joint and may even lead to instability.
