5 Tips to Keep your Spine Healthy at last

The human spine's strength and flexibility make it susceptible to injury, and because numerous nerves run through the spine, problems can cause leg pain and hip issues.

Why it hurts?

Lower back injuries occur from lifting heavy objects, twisting, or sudden movements that strain muscles or ligaments. Poor posture and repetitive stress can also lead to muscle strain over time. The lumbar spine contains five motion segments, with the lowest two — L4-L5 and L5-S1 — experiencing the most motion and wear.
