Understanding Back Anatomy
The back is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Understanding the anatomy of the back can help you better understand your pain and how to manage it.
The spine is a column of 33 vertebrae that support the body and protect the spinal cord. It is divided into three main sections: the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (mid-back), and lumbar spine (lower back). Each section plays a crucial role in movement and flexibility.
Targeted Back Pain Relief
Discomfort in any part of the spine can manifest as back pain. The cervical spine supports the head and neck, while the thoracic spine connects the ribs to the spine. The lumbar spine bears the weight of the upper body and is particularly vulnerable to injury.
