AB The  cervical  spine  region  is  one  of  the  most  common  areas  of  dysfunction  treated  by  clinicians.  Conditions  resulting  from  acute  trauma,  degenerative  disorders,  and  chronic  postural  strains  can  cause  pain  and  debilitation  that  lead  the  patient  to  seek  therapeutic  or  surgical  intervention.  Important  to  the  clinical  evaluation  in  any  of  these  patient  groups  is  an  understanding  of  the  underlying  degenerative  changes  of  the  spine  revealed  on  radiographs.  The  degree  of  severity  of  degeneration  will  affect  the  ability  of  the  spine  to  withstand  trauma,  assume  postural  changes,  and  make  functional  gains  in  mobility  and  movement  patterns.
