Physical Therapy in Rochester, NY for Neck Injuries​

Knowing the main parts of your neck and how these parts work is important as you learn to care for your neck problem.

​

Two common anatomic terms are useful as they relate to the neck. The term anterior refers to the front of the neck. The term posterior refers to the back of the neck. The part of the spine that moves through the neck is called the cervical spine. The front of the neck is therefore called the anterior cervical area. The back of the neck is called the posterior cervical area.
