Its embryonic development clearly shows a relationship to the individual nature, the I, of the human being. Spinal conditions such as herniated nucleus pulposus in adults are considered in the light of vertebral-column developmental dynamics; the equilibrium between buoyancy and gravity, powers of light and substantiality, is seen as determining spinal development and health. At substance level, the corresponding polarity is between phosphorus and calcium, in dynamic terms between lordotic areas of high spinal mobility on the one hand and kyphosis on the other, which may also lead to fusion of vertebrae.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Keywords</strong>: VertebralColumn, Rhythmic System, Notochord, Intervertebral Disk, Herniated nucleus pulposus, Osteochrondrosis, Osteoporosis, Calcium phosphate, Calcium carbonate, Scheuermann’s disease, Lumbosacral transition, Craniocervical transition, Cervicogenic vertigo</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Citation:</strong> Sommer, M., &amp; Soldner, G.
