Management of non-specific thoracic spine pain: a cross-sectional study among physiotherapists.

Authors

Risetti M, Gambugini R, Testa M, Battista S

Abstract

The thoracic area has mainly been neglected in research compared to the lumbar and cervical regions. No clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for non-specific thoracic spine pain (TSP) have been compiled. Therefore, it can be argued that the absence of specific CPGs raises questions about the management of non-specific TSP. Hence, this study aimed at determining the management of non-specific TSP among physiotherapists in Italy.
