The vertebrae are linked by ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Back pain can occur, for example, when someone lifts something too heavy, causing a sprain, pull, strain, or spasm in one of these muscles or ligaments in the back. Neck The spine begins with the seven cervical or neck vertebrae (labeled C1-C7) where pain can radiate through the neck and shoulders. Thoracic Spine (upper and middle back) Next, the 12 thoracic or upper back vertebrae (labeled T1-T12), can affect movement and create pain in the area of the arms, as well as affect the function of many vital organs. Lumbar Spine (lower back, and hips) Lower are the five lumbar vertebrae (labeled L1-L5), which we know as the lower back, can also create pain in the hip area when affected. Also the five lumbar vertebrae (labeled L1-L5) and the sacrum and coccyx, a group of bones fused together at the base of the spine, can affect pain in the legs, ankles and feet.
