Spine – Deciding Human Posture!

A combination of 34 distinctive Vertebrae forms Spine in Humans. Every Vertebra holds its perennial importance. Only a Best Spine Doctor may understand and vouch for their role in deciding the posture for humans!

Let us try and understand the Vertebrae architecture in depth. The uncommon & easy names already provided by Best spine doctors worldwide has ease out the difference making it easy for a layman to understand the importance of the spine.


In a top to bottom approach, the first seven Vertebrae named C1 to C7 frames Cervical Spine. This region is directly below the skull. The C1 Vertebra is directly responsible for holding the skull in its position. As per the Greek mythology, C1 can be compared with Atlas holding the earth on its shoulder!  C1 is thus also known as Atlas! It is specifically designed not only to hold the skull but also to provide a safe passage for nerves emerging from brain to the rest of the body!

The Second Vertebra C2, also known as Axis shared the joint responsibility with C1 (Atlas) for the head rotational movement and nodding. The next time you nod your head, thank Atlas & axis for making it possible.
C3 to C6 Section Focuses more on Posture control giving the flexibility for a free rotation. C7, the last cervical spine vertebra also the largest of all cervical vertebrae, holds the junction to the next segment of spine.
