If you have back
pain, neck pain or symptoms associated with a spinal problem you are not alone. The National Institute of Health estimates that seventy to
eighty-five percent of all people have back pain at some point in their
life while approximately fifty percent of the population will have evidence
of degenerative changes in their cervical spine by the age of fifty. What's

take a day off work, avoid physical activity or exercise, or change their
daily routine because their body hurts. Explore this section for a quick
reference to spinal anatomy, spinal disorders and medical terminology.
