The spinal cord comes off the base of the brain, runs throughout the cervical and thoracic spine, and ends at the lower part of the thoracic spine. Therefore, spinal cord injury or damage may accompany trauma or diseases of the cervical spine or thoracic spine.he spinal cord does not run through the lumbar spine (lower back). After the spinal cord stops in the lower thoracic spine, the nerve roots from the lumbar and sacral levels come off the bottom of the cord like a horse's tail (cauda equina) and exit the spine (view the spinal nerve roots with Figure 1).
The slipped disc (C) is pressing directly on a nerve root and this can cause pain, pins and needles and ultimately weakness in the arm.
