As part of the Spinal Flow Technique Certification Program our students learn about the spine. Here is a diagram showing the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccyx regions.

The spine has natural curves that help with weight distribution and flexibility. These curves include the cervical and lumbar lordosis (inward curves) and the thoracic and sacral kyphosis (outward curves).

The spinal cord is composed of 31 pairs of spinal nerves and is divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions. There are two areas with a thicker cord: the cervical enlargement in the inferior cervical area, (which gives rise to upper limb nerves), and the lumbar enlargement (which yields pelvic and lower limb nerves). Inferior to this, the cord tapers to a point called the medullary cone. From this, a bundle of nerve roots emerges called the caudal equina from L2 to S5.
