Fun fact: Humans and giraffes both have 7 cervical vertebrae. 🦒
Yes — the same number of neck bones.
The difference isn’t in the count… it’s in the size and proportion. A giraffe’s cervical vertebrae are massively elongated, while ours are compact and built for balance, mobility, and protecting the spinal cord.
Structure determines function.
Alignment influences performance.
Whether your neck is 2 feet long or 2 inches wide, those 7 bones play a critical role in:
✔️ Head positioning
✔️ Nervous system protection
✔️ Range of motion
✔️ Postural stability
Take care of your cervical spine — you only get seven.
