Human spine- FAQs

What is the importance of human spine?

Human spine is the control centre of the peripheral body. It houses the spinal cord and spinal nerves. It is the action centre when there is a command from the brain. Due to this fact its structure and integrity is very important for human beings to lead a healthy and normal life.

How do we describe a healthy spine?

A healthy spine is where you have a shallow “S” shaped curve that is mobile and flexible as a whole. For this equilibrium we need the muscles, ligaments and the intra abdominal pressure to be at their normal.

What happens in a diseased state?

The “S” shaped curve will be altered as a whole or in particular fragments due to nerve or muscular imbalance.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms range from simple back pain to altered sensation or difficulty in normal function. Some patients will suffer very severe back pain due to instability in a particular point of the spine, which may lead to raised disc pressure or even tear in the disc.

What are the causes of disc prolapse?

The gel like material inside the spinal disc undergoes variety of pressure changes either from a slipped spinal joint or unusually raised intra-abdominal pressure. Our seating position or nature of work plays a major role in this condition.

How does the body change after this condition?

The importance of fascia (The outer covering of muscles, blood vessels and internal organs) is recently understood by the medical community. This structure undergoes a variety of changes from reducing blood circulation to the particular region to blocking functional activities. Now the acute or simple back pain will transform in to a more severe chronic form which can affect the life style of a person.
