    The spinal column is made up of 33 vertebrae separated into 3 sections - 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck, 12 thoracic vertebrae in the upper back, and 5 lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Between each vertebra is an intervertebral disk that acts as a cushion and allows movement and flexibility of the spine. Together the vertebrae and disks form an S-shaped curve to help support the weight of the upper body and head.
