Spine And Joint Diseases

The spine is a series of vertebrae that form the backbone, providing support and protecting the
spinal cord. Joints are connections between bones that allow movement and flexibility in the
body. Together, the spine and joints play a crucial role in mobility and overall structural integrity.

Spine And Joint Diseases

The spine, also known as the vertebral column, is a crucial component of the human skeletal system, providing structural support and protecting the delicate spinal cord. Comprising individual vertebrae stacked on top of each other, the spine allows for flexibility and movement.

Joints play a pivotal role in connecting bones, facilitating motion, and maintaining stability. Synovial joints, found in areas like the knees and shoulders, have fluid-filled cavities that reduce friction during movement. Ligaments and tendons surrounding joints provide additional support.

Proper spine and joint health is essential for overall well-being, involving a balance of exercise, good posture, and preventive measures to minimize wear and tear over time.
