There are any number of ways. Since we walk upright and use our hands, the spine really is not well made for walking upright. We have four curves and all of our body's weight on the lower part. Gravity does compress the discs and that causes nerve damage. Sudden stops that can occur in car crashes can further move the vertebra and that does more damage. As we age, bone loss occurs and again causes nerve damage. Maybe we need to be redesigned.

Is the cervical spine inferior to the lumbar spine?

No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
