The back is the large posterior area of the torso extending from the neck to the pelvis that is comprised of connected nerves, bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons. The vertebral column, or spine as it is more commonly known, supports the height of the back and has three major regions – cervical, thoracic, and lumbar. Back pain is divided into two major parts, i.e., upper back pain and lower back pain. Visit our website for Back Pain Treatment.
