necessary to protect our backs from injury. — Which is why more than 80% of both on

the job injuries involve the back or neck.  But back problems are not inevitable.

— You can prevent back injuries, if you

understand how the back "works.  When we say that someone has a lot of

"backbone" we mean that they are "upstanding" and

solid. — Yet our backs are also amazingly flexible.

— The "foundation" of your back, the spine, is

rigid enough to support more than half of your

body weight. — But the spine also has enough flexibility

 To accomplish these "dual functions" the spine

is made up of 33 individual bones known as

"vertebrae," twenty four of which are moveable.

They are: — The seven "cervical" (neck) vertebrae...

support your skull and allow you to move your

head. — The twelve thoracic (middle back) vertebrae...

which hold your rib cage in place. — The five vertebrae in the "lumbar" region

your back... which enable you to bend at the waist.

 These vertebrae are "hinged" with "facet

joints" that guide their movement and provide

stability.  The vertebrae are cushioned from one another

is wrong with the spine itself.  "Ruptured" or "herniated" discs are the

common type of spinal injury. — Although sometimes referred to as a "slipped"

disk, intervertebral discs don't really pop out

from between the vertebrae. — What actually happens is that the outer,

elastic part of the disk ruptures, and the

gelatinous nucleus protrudes into the spinal

canal... putting pressure on the spinal cord. — This causes severe back pain... and since

spinal cord is directly involved, there is often

numbness or pain in other parts of the body as

well.  Most disc ruptures occur to the lower

in the lumbar region. — This is because they are subjected to

"heavy lifting" than any other discs in the
