Subluxation and Dislocation of T10/T11-T11/T12 Thoracic Vertebra

Subluxation and dislocation of T10/T11-T11/T12 thoracic vertebra are relatively rare injuries that occur when one or more vertebrae in the thoracic region of the spine become partially or completely displaced from their normal position. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, degenerative changes, and genetic abnormalities.

When subluxation or dislocation occurs, it can result in a range of symptoms, including pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and loss of mobility. The severity of these symptoms will depend on the extent of the injury and the location of the affected vertebrae.

Treatment for subluxation and dislocation of T10/T11-T11/T12 thoracic vertebra typically involves a combination of immobilization, medication, and physical therapy. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the affected vertebrae and prevent further damage to the spinal cord.

Causes of Subluxation and Dislocation of T10/T11-T11/T12 Thoracic Vertebra

There are several factors that can contribute to the development of subluxation and dislocation of T10/T11-T11/T12 thoracic vertebra, including:

  1. Trauma: One of the most common causes of subluxation and dislocation of T10/T11-T11/T12 thoracic vertebra is trauma, such as a fall or a car accident. This type of injury can cause the vertebrae to become partially or completely displaced from their normal position.
  2. Degenerative changes: Over time, the discs and joints in the thoracic spine can wear down and become damaged, which can lead to subluxation and dislocation of the vertebrae.
  3. Genetic abnormalities: Some people are born with genetic abnormalities that can affect the development and stability of the spine, which can increase the risk of subluxation and dislocation.

  • Pain in the back or chest
  • Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
