The spine (backbone) consists of 26 vertebrae that protect the spinal cord and support body movement. Various spinal conditions can develop due to injuries, degenerative changes, or structural abnormalities, leading to pain and mobility issues. The spine is divided into five major regions:
Cervical Spine (Neck) – 7 Vertebrae (C1-C7)
Provides flexibility to the neck.
C1 (Atlas) supports the skull, allowing up-and-down movement.
C2 (Axis) enables rotation of the head.
Thoracic Spine (Upper Back) – 12 Vertebrae (T1-T12)
Connects to the rib cage for protection of internal organs.
Provides stability but limited flexibility.
Lumbar Spine (Lower Back) – 5 Vertebrae (L1-L5)
Supports upper body weight.
More flexible than the thoracic spine but prone to injury and pain.
Sacral Spine (Pelvis) – Sacrum (Fused 5 Vertebrae)
Forms the base of the spine and connects to the pelvis.
Supports body weight during movement.
Coccygeal Spine (Tailbone) – Coccyx (Fused 4 Vertebrae)
Provides stability and muscle attachment for the pelvic region.
Bears body weight when sitting.
Spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and degenerative disc disease can cause chronic pain and mobility issues. Seeking early medical intervention from a spine specialist is crucial for effective treatment and long-term relief.
