What is the overall shape of the vertebral column?
There are essentially 3 curves in the human spine: 1. Cervical lordotic curve 2. Thoracic kyphotic curve 3. Lumbar lordotic curve In summary the human spine has 2 lordotic curves and 1 kyphotic curve. If you are looking at a person sideways with their face facing towards your left, the lordotic curve is concave and the kyphotic curve is convex.

this is most likely scoliosis I have this condition, I was sent for tests to confirm it and was offered an operation to straighten the spine but refused as the operation is very risky . doctors still don't know the main cause of scoliosis it literally is just "one of these things", and contradictary to myths scoliosis is not caused by bad posture. it can also be diagnosed at any age. do not worry about this if you have it, it doesn't restrict movement or quality of life :)30 degrees at the base near the tailbone, also known as the "arch" in your back.
Following a car crash you have now been advised that in your lumber spine you have a mild s shaped scoliosos but preserved vertebral alignment what does this mean?
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, which often is noticed in childhood to teen years. It creates an abnormal curve in the vertebral spine. In severe scoliosis, the spinal vertebra can twist or curve so drastically that it misaligns the vertebra and places pressure on the spinal cord. However, yours is mild with no misalignment of the spine, therefore, chances are that you have no spinal cord entrapment. However, you should talk to your doctor about whether you need a brace, physical therapy, or specific exercises to prevent the condition from getting worse.

The sacrum goes steep backward from the last lumber vertebra. Here no curve is described probably. So you have lardosis of cervical and lumber vertebrae. You have kyphosis of the thoracic vertebrae.
What muscle is located on the sides of the vertebral column?
Erector spinae are the muscles that move the vertebral column.It is the largest muscle mass of the back, forming a prominent bulge on either side of the vertebral column.It is the chief extensor of the vertebral column.
