What Makes Compass Different
At Compass Pain and Wellness, we utilize Regenerative Medicine Treatments, including PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Cellular Therapy, to treat upper back and thoracic pain at its source. These therapies do more than mask symptoms—they actively repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Specifically, PRP and Cellular Therapy can be used to:
- Target degenerated thoracic discs: Stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in damaged discs that may be causing nerve compression or chronic pain.
- Repair injured muscles and ligaments: Strengthen strained or torn soft tissue in the thoracic region to restore mobility and reduce recurrent pain.
- Support facet joints and spinal structures: Promote regeneration of arthritic or injured joints, helping improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.
- Address post-surgical pain or scar tissue: Reduce inflammation and promote healing in areas affected by prior surgeries or tissue adhesions.
We are the premier destination for these treatments because of our specialized expertise, precise application techniques, and commitment to patient safety. PRP and Cellular Therapy are natural, safe, and affordable approaches that harness the body’s own healing mechanisms, addressing both pain and structural damage in the thoracic spine for lasting relief and improved function.


What Conditions Can Cause Upper Back and Thoracic Pain?
- Thoracic disc herniation: A herniated disc in the thoracic spine can cause localized upper back pain and, in some cases, radiating pain around the chest or abdomen.
- Degenerative disc disease: Age-related wear of the thoracic discs may result in chronic stiffness and aching pain in the upper back.
- Thoracic spondylosis (spinal arthritis): Degeneration of the spinal joints leads to stiffness, reduced mobility, and persistent upper back discomfort.
- Facet joint dysfunction: Inflammation of thoracic facet joints can cause sharp or aching pain that worsens with movement or prolonged posture.
- Muscle strain or ligament sprain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can cause localized upper back pain and muscle tightness.
- Myofascial pain syndrome: Trigger points in the upper back and shoulder muscles create persistent pain and referred discomfort.
- Postural dysfunction: Prolonged slouching or forward head posture can place excess strain on the thoracic spine, leading to chronic pain.
- Compression fractures: Vertebral fractures, often related to osteoporosis or trauma, can cause sudden or worsening upper back pain.
- Scoliosis or spinal alignment issues: Abnormal curvature of the spine may lead to muscle imbalance, stiffness, and ongoing thoracic pain.
- Referred pain from cervical or lumbar conditions: Pain originating in other parts of the spine can be felt in the upper back.
