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.
Overview. 1  The thoracic spine is the mid-portion of your back and extends from the base of the neck to the bottom of the rib cage. It is made up of 12 thoracic vertebrae, which are separated by soft spongy discs that aid in shock absorption. 2  Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a process that breaks down the inter-vertebral discs.
