The spine has three main sections cervical thoracic and lumbar. There are seven cervical vertebrae (C1-C7) twelve thoracic (T1-T12) and five lumbar (L1-L5). In addition there are two fused vertebrae the sacrum and the coccyx. The twelve thoracic and five lumbar vertebrae make up the thoracolumbar spine. The cervical spine supports the head and allows anterior posterior and lateral flexion and extension plus rotation of the head and neck. C2 called the axis forms a pivot with C1 called the atlas around which the head rotates on the cervical spine. Normal curvature is lordotic (eyes pointing up).
