General Spine
Anatomy of the Spine
The spine also called the backbone, is made up of vertebral bones with cushioning intervertebral discs between them. The spine is designed to give us stability and smooth movement, as well as providing a corridor of protection for the delicate spinal cord. It is supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and innervated by nerves that branch out from the centrally placed spinal cord.

Cervical Spine
Cervical Spine Anatomy
The cervical spine is highly mobile compared to the thoracic or lumbar spine. In contrast to other parts of the spine, the cervical spine has transverse foramina in each vertebra through which the vertebral arteries supply blood to the brain.
Conditions
- Cervical Deformities
- Cervical Fracture
- Cervical Herniated Disc
- Cervical Spondylosis
- Cervical Stenosis
- Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease
- Cervical Degenerative Disorder
- Cervical Radiculopathy/Myelopathy
Procedures
- Neck Surgery
- Cervical Arthroplasty
- Cervical Bracing
- Cervical Microdiscectomy
- Cervical Spine Fusion
- Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy
- Cervical Laminoforaminotomy
- Posterior Cervical Fusion
- Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement
- Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
- Posterior Cervical Decompression
- Posterior Cervical Microforaminotomy/Discectomy
- Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion
- Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion
- Minimally Invasive Cervical Discectomy
- Posterior Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
Lumbar Spine
Lumbar Spine Anatomy
The lumbar spine is composed of the lower 5 vertebrae, which have been numbered L1–L5. The lowest vertebra of the lumbar spine (L5) is connected to the top of the sacrum, which is a triangular bone present at the base of the spine fitting into the two pelvic bones. In some cases, an extra or sixth lumbar vertebra may be present.
Conditions
- Low Back Pain
- Lumbar Stress Fracture
- Lumbar Sprain
- Lumbar Disc Herniation
- Lumbar Herniated Disc
- Lumbar Radiculopathy
- Lumbar Stenosis
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Thoracic Spine
Thoracic Spine Anatomy
The thoracic spine is the central part of the spine, also called the dorsal spine, which runs from the base of the neck to the bottom of your rib cage. The thoracic spine provides the flexibility that holds the body upright and protects the organs of the chest.
Conditions
- Thoracic Pain
- Thoracic Disc Herniation
- Thoracic Nerve Compression
- Thoracic Myelopathy
- Compression of Thoracic Nerve
Procedures
- Thoracic Discectomy
- Thoracic Facetectomy
- Thoracic Laminectomy
