Joint of the Month

Each month I highlight a particular balance joint.

In December, we are exploring the spine.

  • 4 natural curves
  • Weight bearing structure (front)
  • Houses nerves (back)
  • All movement originates in the spine.
  • Largest vertebrae are the size of a small tree trunk
  • Disc between each vertebra
