So, do you suffer from Back Pain and don’t know why?
To understand this, we first need to understand our Back and its function.
The Spinal Column comprises a variety of vertebrae placed in an upright position. A framework called the Spine:
The vertebral column usually consists of 33 vertebrae: 24 presacral vertebrae (7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar) followed by the sacrum (5 fused sacral vertebrae) and the coccyx (4 frequently fused coccygeal vertebrae).
The mechanical feature of the spinal column is double: it has to give assistance for the body, as well as enable us rotating and bending as needed.
In order to attain this, through the Facet Joints your spine becomes flexible to bend forward, backwards, to the side, twist and rotate left and right, and also a combination of all these moves, opposite to other joints on our body which which will only bend in one direction or rotate in a very short range of move. Cartilage in theses Facet Joints is which stops the grinding of one vertebra on each other. Out of the Facet Joints, nerves lead out of your spinal cord towards other parts of your body.
Sadly, Facet Joints are easily compressed, and if this happens, the vertebrae will lose their capability to relocate or move without physical restriction, so we become stiff and will suffer Back Pain. Currently, nearly 100% of the Back Pain sufferers is due to this condition.
If you are one of them, then you should definitely read THIS.
