All About Your Spine:
The human spine is much more than just a column of bones—it’s a lifeline of support and protection.
-
Structure and Function:
- Most people are born with 33 vertebrae, but by adulthood, 24 vertebrae remain as some fuse together during growth.
- The spine consists of 5 sections:
- Cervical (neck): Supports your head and allows for movement like nodding and turning.
- Thoracic (upper back): Protects the chest and vital organs.
- Lumbar (lower back): Bears most of the body’s weight.
- Sacral: Connects the spine to the hip bones.
- Coccygeal (tailbone): A vestigial structure that helps with balance and supports certain muscles.
-
Back Pain and Challenges:
- Up to 80% of people experience back pain at least once in their lives, often due to arthritis, poor posture, overuse, or injury.
- Discs between vertebrae are filled with a jelly-like substance for cushioning, but damage can lead to bulging, ruptured, or herniated discs, causing inflammation and nerve pain.
- Advances in treatment aim to improve outcomes for those suffering from chronic back pain.
-
A Reminder to Care for Your Spine:
- Stretch, maintain good posture, and lift safely to keep your back in good health—because your spine’s got your back every day!
