In this article, we’ll explore how to read and utilize a spinal nerve chart to map innervation patterns. A downloadable spinal nerve chart PDF is included, listing each nerve, its origin vertebrae, and the region it enervates.
Page 4 Note: Neurological innervation of the spinal nerves of the human body overlap in its supply to different areas and parts of the body as well as differ somewhat in different persons. This chart is a simplification of actual innervation.
This chart shows some of the integral relationships between the spine, nervous system and body. For simplicity, this chart does not reflect all the structures or paths utilized in nerve transmission. *In some cases, nerve roots innervate other structures, such as nerve plexuses and ganglia which in turn supply innervations to specific body parts.
Printable spine diagrams with labels provide a clear visual representation of the different parts of the spine, including the vertebrae, discs, and spinal nerves. These diagrams help facilitate a better understanding of the spine’s structure and how it functions.
"By supporting the weight of your head and upper body your spine helps you maintain an upright posture and gives you the freedom to walk and run, your spine also protects your spinal cord and spinal nerves which carry nerve signals between your brain and your body."
On the chart below you will see 4 Columns (Vertebral Level, Nerve Root, Innervation, and Possible Symptoms). Under ‘Vertebral Level’: C1-C7 is the NECK, T1-T12 is the UPPER BACK/rib cage area, and ; L1-L5 is the LOWER BACK.
