Thoracic Lumbar Injury
The lumbar region of the spine is composed of 5 vertebrae that are bridged by discs. These articulations form little spaces on either side (facets) that allow spinal nerve roots to exit from the spinal cord and into the arms and legs. The lumbar spine is naturally curved into extension, which is called a “lordosis.” Individuals with scoliosis (spine is rotated and laterally curved), a flat back or excessively curved back commonly report low back pain due to encroachment on these structures. Recent research demonstrates that conservative treatment of low back pain has the same (if not better) outcomes as surgery at a 5-10 year followup. In addition, most low back pain will clear up within 4-6 months.

The thoracic region of the spine is composed of 12 thoracic vertebrae that are bridged by discs. As with the lumbar spine, the spaces between the vertebral facets allow for spinal nerves to exit and gather sensation from the body as well as power the muscles they feed. Conversely from the lumbar spine, the thoracic spine has a curvature that forms more of a dome and is called a “kyphosis.” Injuries in this region are less common, however, they can be just as debilitating.
