The spine is one of the most complex structures in the body. It allows us to stand upright and move with ease. It protects our spinal cord which is the nerve center that allows our brain to communicate with the rest of our body. It has three segments. The cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (middle back) and the lumbar spine (lower back).
Because your spine is subjected to stress and strain every day, it is a frequent site of injury. Often times the injury occurs without realizing it. However, over time normal day to day activities cause pain.
