Spine Trivia Time!
Cervical pain typically affects the neck, while lumbar pain is usually felt in the ________.
Your cervical spine sits at the top of your back and supports the weight of your head. Because it’s highly mobile and less protected, neck issues can radiate into the shoulders, arms, and hands.
Your lumbar spine, on the other hand, is built for strength—a set of larger vertebrae that carry most of your body weight. When irritated or injured, lumbar pain may stay in the lower back or radiate into the hips, legs, or feet.
