Spine Anatomy | Upper Cervical Pain | Parts of Spine | Part 2 #anatomy #cervicalpain #physiotherapy

The upper cervical spine refers to the uppermost portion of the cervical spine, which is made up of the first two vertebrae, the atlas and axis. These two vertebrae are unique in that they allow for a significant amount of movement in the neck, including rotation and tilting. The atlas, or C1, is the topmost vertebra and supports the skull. The axis, or C2, is the second vertebra and has a bony protrusion called the dens, which the atlas rotates around. The upper cervical spine plays a vital role in the overall function and stability of the neck and head, and injury or dysfunction in this area can lead to a variety of symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, and even neurological issues.
