24 Things

Back pain.

Together, let’s normalize these questions in response:

What parts of my spine can I move?

The spine is 24 things:
7 cervical vertebrae,
12 thoracic,
and 5 lumber.
How many of those 24 can I move?

If some are fused, which ones can I still flex and extend?

If some aren’t moving, can I get them moving— even a millimeter?

If I get them moving, can I get more control?

If I get more control, will my spine get stronger in the places it is intended to bear load?

If I get a stronger spine, will it change my back pain?
