Cómo funciona la columna vertebral y por qué falla

The spine allows us to move, support our body, and protect the spinal cord, but it isn't designed to continuously bear weight vertically. An upright posture concentrates the load on the lower vertebrae and can lead to wear and tear. Sudden movements, poor posture, or weak muscles contribute to disc damage and pain. Strong back muscles help relieve pressure and maintain a balance between mobility and stability. And you, how do you keep your back strong? #dwhealth #dwscience #dwmagacines 00:09 The spine in an upright position 00:26 Structure: vertebrae and coccyx 00:37 Function of the spinous processes 00:50 Spinal mobility 01:00 Intervertebral discs 01:09 Spinal cord and nerves 01:36 Load in a horizontal position 01:44 Upright posture and pressure 01:55 Pain, injuries, and prevention
