Mid & Upper Back Pain: Relief & TLSO Support
Mid and upper back pain—often centered in the thoracic region—can affect simple movements like reaching overhead or even sitting comfortably. Common causes include muscle strain, poor posture, or persistent discomfort after certain back surgeries. If not addressed, it can limit mobility and worsen over time. At Brace Direct, we provide TLSO (thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis) braces designed to ease pressure on your upper spine, reduce tension, and support daily activities.
Common Causes of Mid & Upper Back Pain
Upper back pain can result from multiple everyday factors or underlying issues:
- Thoracic Spine Strain: Overuse, twisting motions, or heavy lifting can strain mid-back muscles, leading to tightness and soreness.
- Pain After Back Surgery: Some individuals experience lingering pain after procedures like laminectomies, requiring additional support to heal properly.
- Postural Stress: Slouching at a desk, carrying heavy bags, or repetitive overhead motions can strain the upper back.

How a TLSO Brace Relieves Upper Back Pain
A TLSO brace spans your mid and lower spine, providing:
- Stability & Support: Limits bending or twisting that aggravates upper-back discomfort.
- Post-Surgical Alignment: Maintains proper posture if recovering from spinal procedures.
- Better Posture: Helps you stay upright, minimizing strain on the mid-back area.
- Gentle Compression: Calms inflamed tissues and muscle tension.
