AB Formed  by  33  vertebral  segments  and  divided  into  four  distinct  portions,  the  spinal  column  and  its  associated  muscles  provide  postural  control  to  the  torso  and  skull,  while  also  protecting  the  spinal  cord.  The  conflicting  needs  for  range  of  motion  (ROM)  versus  protection  of  the  spinal  cord  are  met  in  varying  degrees  throughout  the  spine  (Fig.  13-1).
