Chest osteochondrosis differs from other types. Degenerative disease of the thoracic discs - displacement of the thoracic vertebral discs. Chest pain with osteochondrosis does not bother much, the load on the chest region is not great.
The thoracic spine is inactive, injured more severely, less frequently. The ligaments of the thoracic region are less elongated, more prickly, joined to the ribs by means of joints that strongly restrict the movement of the spine. This adds strength to the department - it protects the internal organs better than the pelvic region.
