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.
The part of your spine known as the thoracic region resides in the upper part of your back at around the chest level. The thoracic spine is made up of 12 vertebrae; your ribs are connected to it to help protect vital organs. When muscles in your thoracic region become tight and painful, performing certain thoracic spine stretches may help ease your discomfort. Consult your physician before beginning any spinal stretching routine. Video of the Day
