Anatomy of the Cervical Spine
Cervical Spine Anatomy
bullPrimary functionndashMobility support and
protection of spinal canal and neural structures
Cervical Spine Anatomy
bullVertebrae (7)
bullIntervertebral discs (6)
bullPairs of exiting nerve roots (8)
bullCervical lordosis Occ-C7 averages 40deg
ndashMost of the lordosis occurs at the C1-C2 segment

Cervical Spine AnatomybullApproximately 50 of flexion-
extension motion occurs at occiput-C1
bullApproximately 50 of rotation occurs at C1-C2
bullLesser amounts of flexion-extension rotation and lateral
bending occur segmentally between C2-C7

Treatmentbull usually have a good prognosis
bull In up to four-fifths of patients symptoms
will resolve spontaneously within a 12-week
period
bull However if pain persists beyond this time
there is a slow resolution of pain in the
majority of patients
bull By approximately 4 years there is no difference in the incidence of pain in
patients treated non-operatively or surgically
bull Surgical results will deteriorate after
symptoms have been present for 1
year
