Chronic Spinal Pain Treatment Options

• Spinal pain in the neck (cervical) region and
  lower back (lumbar) region have become most
  common among people of all ages.
• Compared to the thoracic region, the neck and
  lower back region of the spine are easily prone
  to stress due to their weight-bearing function.
• Also, the next and lower back regions are
  responsible for mobility actions such as
  twisting, moving, and bending.
• Hence, these two regions are most likely to get
  affected in case of any injury or accident.
