Backbone is a common term for the spine, also called the vertebral column. It is the central support structure that helps you stand, bend, and move. It also protects the spinal cord and nerve roots that travel from the brain to the body. In healthcare, “Backbone” is often used in patient-friendly discussions about neck and back conditions.
