The knowledge of the Thoracolumbar Spine (TS) Anatomy and Biomechanics is important for prevention of mechanical damage of spine; which is very common and presented with the Low Back Pain (LBP). It is still unknown that how the TS commonly gets damaged during daily activities of life. This paper aims to give a comprehensive account of biomechanics of TS and its anatomical and clinical correlation for the occurrence and prevention of mechanical damage of spine.
Keywords: Thoracolumbar spine, Biomechanics, Lower back pain
