Davis Company PP New York, NY SN 9780803690158 LK fadavisat.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1198042674 RD 2024/03/28 AB The cervical spine provides the greatest range of motion (ROM) among the sections of the spinal column. However, the spinal cord is the most vulnerable to injury in this location. Because of the important role the cervical vertebrae have in protecting the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots, injury to this area can be catastrophic. Even noncatastrophic injury to the neck region can have an impact on an individual’s daily life.
