Examine and manage thoracic spine presentations - from mechanical and rib-related pain to fractures, inflammatory disease and visceral mimics.

What the path covers

  • Foundations & Red Flags: Thoracic triage and screen for visceral mimics.
  • Mechanical & Rib-Related Pain: Common thoracic and costovertebral patterns.
  • Disc, Radiculopathy & Myelopathy: Rare but important thoracic neurogenic presentations.
  • Compression Fracture & Hyperkyphosis: Osteoporotic fracture, Scheuermann's, postural change.
  • Inflammatory, Stress & Visceral Mimics: AxSpA, rib stress, cardiopulmonary referrals.
