Spine Problems: How To Get Rid Of Them?

Our spine is the column of bones that originates from the head and runs to the lower back, also connects the body together. This column of bones protects our delicate spinal cord and helps it daily movements like walking, performing routine activities, and also the movement of arms and legs. If our spine or any part of the spine gets damaged or deformed, then it becomes a hindrance in performing daily activities and also induces back pain and discomfort in the body. There are intervertebral discs, which are spongy cushions in nature, and are found in between the vertebrae of the spine. Vertebrae is the combination of the neck, middle back, and lower back that consists of muscles, bones, nerves, ligaments, and discs that give support to the spine. The Discs perform certain important functions for the spine which include shock absorption, providing vertebrae pivot point to allow movement, and keeps the column of bones stable. They are made to handle a lot of pressure without damage, but certain sudden pressure damages the disc and pulls its content out, often referred to as bulging disc.
