The thoracolumbar spine is the anatomical frontier where the thoracic spinal region meets the lumbar spinal region.he lumbar spine, on the other hand, is the place where disc degeneration and spinal arthritis are almost universal in human adults. The lower back must constantly bend and flex, carrying huge loads of stress which obvious wear down the vertebrae and intervertebral discs as part of their normal lifespans.
A thoracic curve has its apex in the thoracic area (the part of the spine to which the ribs attach). A lumbar curve has its apex in the lower back. A thoracolumbar curve has its apex where the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae join (see âNormal Spineâ diagram).
