A Segmental Review of the Spine – Part 3 (L3-Coccyx)

Overview

While the examination of proper function and disorders in many parts of the body are viewed from a systems approach, the different role that each segment of the spinal plays in the body is often overlooked. In part 3, we will discuss the role each segment of the spine from levels L3 through the Coccyx plays in movement and daily activities; autonomic nervous system imbalance; circulation; and gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive function. Parts 1 and 2 not required.
