Where is the thoracic curve?

The thoracic spine is from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. All the thoracic vertebrae - all 12 have ribs attached. The curve the thoracic spine has is called the thoracic curve, or kyphosis. It is normal to have a curve but if the curve is excessive or twists to the side it is abnormal. It can cause problems or if mild most people do not know it is there.

The ribs are attached at the thoracic region of the spinal column. There are twelve vertebra that make up the thoracic spine.

The twelve pair of human ribs are classified as True ribs, False ribs and Floating ribs depending on the ribs pair location on the thoracic spine.
