Torácicolombopélvica

Torácicolombopélvica refers to the anatomical region encompassing the thoracic spine, the lumbar spine, and the pelvis. This contiguous area forms the posterior and lateral trunk of the body. The thoracic spine, also known as the dorsal spine, consists of twelve vertebrae situated in the upper back. These vertebrae articulate with the ribs, forming the thoracic cage. Below the thoracic spine lies the lumbar spine, comprising five vertebrae in the lower back. This region is crucial for weight-bearing and movement. Finally, the pelvis is a bony structure that connects the spine to the lower limbs. It is formed by the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones, and it houses vital organs. The torácicolombopélvica region is characterized by a complex interplay of bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves that facilitate posture, locomotion, and protection of internal organs. Injuries or dysfunctions within this area can lead to significant pain and mobility impairments. Conditions affecting the torácicolombopélvica region include disc herniation, spinal stenosis, fractures, and pelvic instability. Management often involves a multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy, medication, and sometimes surgical intervention.
