| | In order for the spine to control movement and assume responsibility for balance under the many stresses of physical activity, spinal muscles attach themselves to many different vertebrae and their parts, as well as to the arms and legs, the head, the rib cage, and the pelvis. | | | Flexion of the spine is defined as movement that produces forward bending, such as bringing the chin toward the chest or bending forward at the waist as if to pick up an object. | | | When the extensors and flexors contract on only one side, lateral bending of the spine occurs. The quadratus lumborum is a muscle that contributes mainly to lateral bending of the lumbar spine and is well situated for that purpose, spanning from the pelvis and lower lumbar area to the ribs and upper lumbar vertebrae. |

| | Spinal anatomy and back pain |
| | The thoracic spine is basically a strong cage and it is designed to protect the vital organs of the heart and lungs. | | | Acute neck pain is most often caused by a muscle, ligament or tendon strain (such as from a sudden force or straining the neck), and will usually heal with time and conservative treatments to alleviate the pain (such as ice and/or heat, medications, chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, etc). | | | Spinal anatomy is a remarkable combination of strong bones, flexible ligaments and tendons, large muscles and highly sensitive nerves. |

| | The coccyx is the terminal part of the spine that is commonly referred to as the tailbone, which is made up of four and sometimes five vertebrae fused together. | | | Many back problems occur where the lumbar and sacral region of the spine connect because this region of the spine is subjected to a large amount of stress with certain activities. | | | They are an important part of the connection between the sacrum and pelvis and they are often used during spine surgery as a point of attachment for instrumentation that helps to stabilize the lumbosacral junction. |

| | As the resolution of the cervical spine image decreases, the visual distinctions among the individual vertebrae are lost, as well as the spinous process anatomy at the back of the vertebrae, and all distinctive anatomical features within the skull area (teeth, sinus area, orbits of the eyes, etc.). | | | The significance of this level of analysis is that it should lead to a subsequent finer-grained result that approaches the goal of segmenting and identifying the vertebral anatomy and classifying the identified anatomy by the conditions of interest to us. | | | At a very low resolution the predominant visual features of the cervical spine images are the bright spots in the image corresponding to the approximate skull and shoulder regions, and the distinctively dark region corresponding to the background behind the skull. |

| | The discs allow for flexibility in your spine, assist the muscles as shock absorbers, and provide cushioning between the vertebrae. | | | In its proper position, the spine follows natural curves, which allow for increased flexibility. | | | Muscle groups may become weak or tight, causing a "muscle imbalance." This can directly affect full movement of the spine and extremities. |
