Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The cervical spine is structurally distinguished by differences between the upper cervical spine (C1 and C2) and the lower cervical spine (C3-C7) segments. Anatomical and functional distinctions allow for differences in segmental mobility and movement direction. The upper cervical spine allows for a greater degree of rotation with some frontal and sagittal movement. In contrast, the lower cervical spine moves in flexion-extension and inclination-rotation..1
