Most back problems are related
to your spine. Your spine is made up of many small bones called vertebrae.
These vertebrae are "spaced" by spinal disks that act as shock absorbers
to cushion and separate your vertebrae.
Your spine serves not only to help you sit
or stand upright, but also to protect your spinal cord. Your spinal cord
is the main "information highway" for your entire body, and is composed
of millions of nerves. Because your spine is a delicate structure, you
will experience pain whenever you strain, sprain, or in some way injure
your back. |
