Cervical Vertebrae

Cervical vertebrae are the seven small vertebrae located in the neck region of the human spine. They are the most flexible vertebrae in the spine and as such, provide the most range of movement and flexibility among the vertebrae. Cervical vertebrae are vital for providing support and stability to the head and neck, and enable the human body with its complex head and neck movements. They are also key in helping the body to absorb shock and impacts. Due to their importance, it is vital to maintain the health of the cervical vertebrae and any potential injury that may arise should be treated immediately in order to prevent chronic pain or cervical instability from developing.
