Dorsalgia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When mid-back pain doesn't ease, addressing it promptly helps you understand its origin and care for your posture. Dorsalgia is pain located in the dorsal region of the spine, that is, in the middle part of the back, between the neck and the lower back.
Common causes:
- Poor posture or repeated strain.
- Muscle tension or a sedentary lifestyle.
- Overload when lifting weight.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist assesses the spine, and the physical therapist can support posture and movement work; the general practitioner or family physician can guide the first visit. When the pain lingers or limits activities, the advisable thing is to discuss it with a professional who can examine the case.
