Spine Anatomy
Your spine plays a vital role in nearly every move you make. From the cervical spine that comprises your neck down the thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions, every vertebra helps you stretch, bend, stand and sit while keeping your body symmetrical and supported from head to pelvis.
With more than 30 vertebrae, their associated intervertebral discs, the spinal cord and the host of nerves and blood vessels surrounding the spine, a condition or trauma impacting even one of these areas can lead to damage or pain impacting your entire body.
The specialists at Fondren Orthopedic Group are highly practiced and skilled at managing the complexities of the neck, spine and surrounding areas.
