Abstract
The next two chapters deal with specific aspects of musculoskeletal disorders, namely whiplash and back pain. For the purposes of these chapters it may be helpful to say something about the spine. The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae (see Figure 5.1). These vertebrae protect our spinal cord and are relevant to both whiplash and back injury.
