Spine
Abdominal and back muscles need to be specifically targeted with strengthening exercise in order to support the spine. Exercise and physical fitness are critical, including stretching and building strength in the core trunk muscles that help support the spine. Without question, the composition and function of the spine is a marvel of nature, providing us with a unique combination of structure to allow us to stand upright and move with precision.
Flexibility is needed, especially in the lower and upper spine, allowing us to bend and twist in a full variety of movements. Strength is provided by the bones, discs, joints and supportive muscles and connective tissue. Here are the basics of anatomical causes of spine pain. Neck Pain - the cervical spine (neck) supports the weight of your head and protects the nerves that come from your brain to the rest of the body.
Upper Back Pain The 12 vertebral bodies in the upper back that are attached to the rib cage make up the thoracic spine (middle or upper back) are firmly attached to the rib cage at each level, providing a great deal of stability and structural support, protecting the heart, lungs and other important organs within the chest. Because there is little motion in the upper spine, it is rare to have pain caused by a herniated or degenerated thoracic disc. Strong abdominal muscles and back muscles are important to provide support for this area of the spine and avoid injury.
