Dear Reena,

in principal you don't need any plugin to analyse spine length. I don't
know which kind of data you have, so I assume you have a 2D timeseries
of spine images. For a manual analysis you just have to define a point
on the base of the spine neck as a starting point and the furthest point
on the spine head. Then connect both via line-tool and press crtl-m for
measurement.
I'm not aware of any automatical analysis tool.
