What does the spine do

The role of the spine is to absorb shock and vibration and maintain body stability, the spine is divided into cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, the cervical spine has a physiological forward bend, the thoracic spine posterior flexion, the lumbar spine forward flexion. Simply put, the spine is S-shaped from a lateral view, and this shape can be very good at absorbing the impact and shock brought about by walking, running and jumping. There are many young patients who experience premature neck pain and discomfort, and the radiographs indicate a straightening of the physiological curvature, which means that the normal curvature of the spine is slowly disappearing, suggesting that the spine has degenerated prematurely. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine. Patients should pay attention to exercise and choose the right type of exercise in order to avoid premature aging of the body and maintain the normal function of the spine, which is very important to maintain good health.
