Vertebral blockage
The spine is made up of a series of vertebral bodies, which are divided by weight-absorbing intervertebral discs, and stabilized by ligaments and muscles. This structure enables our trunk to move. Each spinal section or segment has only a small degree of mobility, but when added together, the spine has a large range of motion.
When a vertebral blockage occurs, one of the vertebral bodies of this system is minimally twisted or displaced, which causes great pain and loss of movement. In addition, the temporary bony if minimal malposition can also lead to entrapment of the nerves running through the exit holes of the spinal column. The nerves of the thoracic spine run horizontally around the trunk at approximately the same level as the exit points and continue to the front of the spine, where they supply skin areas, tissue and muscles.
Thus, a trapped nerve in the thoracic spine can in turn be a cause of the chest pain treated here. Nerve pain often has a burning, stabbing character. The pain is intensified by moving the pinched region in the sense of further compression. The blockage is released by a chiropractor or gentler manual techniques of the physiotherapist, combined with tissue and muscle loosening measures, which leave the vertebra back in its physiological position by relaxing the false move.

Summary
The causes of chest pain are very diverse. Cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases, inflammatory processes, fractures or poor posture can be possible triggers. In order to make an accurate diagnosis, an exact analysis of the symptoms and further diagnostic clarification is therefore essential.In any case, chest pain should be taken very seriously, as under certain circumstances life-threatening diseases can be the cause.
