The cervical spine supports the head and is a major threat if injured trauma in this region (Above C3) can cause respiratory arrest.The lower back (lumbar spine) has the least structural support and endures the most strain, making it the most frequently injured area of the spine.The 12 vertebral bodies in the upper back make up the thoracic spine. The firm attachment of the rib cage at each level of the thoracic spine provides stability and structural support and allows very little motion, which means that thoracic disc injuries are rare.
