The tag 'C' means the 'cervical' section of the spine, which is the first section at the top of the spine ... the first group of vertebrae right under the skull. There are seven cervical vertebrae, (unless you've had C4 thru C7 fused, like me), and then the thoracic section starts. 'C3' means the third vertebra down from the skull. That pointy bone sticking out at the bottom of your neck/top of your back is 'T1'. All the vertebrae above that are in the cervical section.
