The Anatomy of the Spine

Your spines can be divided into several different regions, each with its own curvature.  While many people envision the spine as being straight, in reality it actually has a gentle S curve, which allows it to effectively support your body weight. 

This video discusses the basic anatomy of the spine and gives detail about its shape and function. The discs and vertebrae that make up the spine protect the spinal cord, which extends from the brain stem to the lumbar spine (the low back).

This short video will help you understand your spine’s importance in your body.  For help maintaining spinal health and dealing with any pain you’re experiencing, call the Pain and Wellness Center at (781) 780-3616.  We can help your spine—and the rest of your body—regain its natural balance.
