Your spine does more than support your posture, it protects your spinal cord and allows your body to move, bend, and twist!
Here’s a simple breakdown:
• Cervical spine (neck): Supports your head and allows movement
• Thoracic spine (mid-back): Provides stability and protects vital organs
• Lumbar spine (lower back): Carries most of your body’s weight
• Sacral spine: Connects the spine to the pelvis
How Pain Travels:
When a disc, joint, or muscle becomes irritated, nearby nerves can send pain signals along specific pathways. That’s why back problems can cause pain that travels into the arms, legs, or hips.
Understanding where pain starts helps specialists pinpoint the source and create targeted treatment plans.
At Wisconsin Spine & Pain, we focus on diagnosing the cause, not just treating the symptoms. So, if you have neck or back pain, give us a call or visit our website to start your path to living comfortably again!
