The cervical spine is also known as the neck. It starts at the base of your skull and has seven small vertebrae. Amazingly, the cervical spine can support your entire head weight, which averages around 12 pounds. Although the cervical spine is flexible enough to move your head in almost any direction, it can also cause injury and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biomechanics is a major factor in the neck’s vulnerability to injury. The following activities and events can affect cervical biomechanics: prolonged sitting, repetitive movement and falls, blows to the head or body, normal aging, and everyday wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
