The spine is a very complex structure composed of 33
individual bones that are stacked one on top of the other. This column provides
support to the human body and allows movement that is crucial to everyday life,
all while protecting the spinal cord from injury. When one or more of the bones
and/or supporting spinal components become injured, individuals in the Tyler,
Texas area often report back pain or neck pain. The pain doctors at Pain
Recovery Center of Tyler specialize in spine anatomy and the many causes of
back and neck pain.
Spine anatomy includes 33 vertebrae (the individual bones),
muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves that protect the spinal cord. The spinal
cord is responsible for providing communication to the brain. Any of these
structures can be impacted by an acute injury or a chronic health condition,
leading to pain, tingling, numbness, weakness and loss of mobility.
