Basics of spine!
Knowing our spine and how it works can help us better understand some of the problems that occur from aging or injury. Normal demands placed on our spine are to hold our head, shoulders and upper body erect. It gives us support to stand up straight, and our flexibility to bend twist. Its main function is to protect the spinal cord (connection from brain to all body parts).

Parts of the Spine Vertebrae

Your spine is made up of small bones, called vertebrae, which are placed on top of one another like coins to create the natural curves of your back. These bones connect in back to create a canal where spinal cord lies.
The spinal cord extends from the skull to your lower back and travels through the canal. Nerves come out of the spinal cord through openings in the vertebrae on both sides and transmit messages between the brain and muscles.
Back Muscles and Ligaments provide support and stability to our spine and upper body to perform day to day activities like sitting, standing and walking.

Intervertebral Discs

These are in between the vertebrae. They are flat and round, and about a half inch thick. They are made up of 2 components:

a. Nucleus pulposus is jelly-like and makes up the centre. It’s made of water and gives the flexibility and strength.

b. Annulus fibrosus is the flexible outer ring. It is made up of multiple layers, similar to elastic bands.

When we are standing or walking, weight is put on the nucleus and the nucleus expands. The annulus holds the nucleus in place. This allows movement to take place, yet maintains the strength of the spine. In effect, discs act as shock absorbers for the spine.

Facet Joints

Facet Joints are in between the back of the vertebrae, they are small joints that also help in spine movements. These facet joints have a cartilage surface, like hip or knee joints. These joints are important for allowing rotation of the spine but may develop arthritis and are the source for low back or neck pain.
