A member asked:
What parts of the vertebral column have the highest pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Head Back: The cervical vertebrae are relatively thin and small with some soft tissue support. The neck moves in multiple directions while carrying a relatively heavy head. The lumbar are larger and bulkier but connect to the pelvis. This is the area where body movement like twisting and lifting take place and supports most of the weight. You choose.
