Cervical

Cervical

Neck-bone connected to the back bone,

Rolling heads bearing teeth,

An atlas shrugged offers tensioned release,

In the cervical design our limitations outshine every region of the spine,

Reflecting the direction of this mortal coil,

Sharp, rigid and pointed, our flexibility resides in its axis,

Its importance undone in a moment of brittle routine,

One false movement can destroy,

Alter perception of reality

Thoracic

Much maligned and often undermined

By the power of the Lumbar spine

And the glamour of the Cervical design

Yet straight and firm, Thor rests closest to our hearts,

Protecting the soul by keeping form,

Yet when maligned, treatments rarely address this spine.

Lumbar

The power and the force

The loudest of the trio, dictating the course,

Flexing pivots and timely twists,

Without our lumbar

How could we move?
