💥 Your Lumbar Spine Is a Masterpiece of Engineering 💥

Did you know each lumbar disc is about 90% water in early adulthood? That’s why hydration plays a big role in spinal health! 💧

Your lumbar discs act like shock absorbers between the vertebrae. They’re made of a soft centre (nucleus pulposus) and a tough outer layer (annulus fibrosus)—working together to handle pressure and motion.

Surrounding this are powerful structures like:

✅ Anterior & Posterior Longitudinal Ligaments – stabilizing the spine front to back

✅ Facet joints – guiding movement and preventing excess motion

✅ Multifidus, erector spinae & core muscles – giving your spine dynamic support

✅ Thoracolumbar fascia – tying it all together like a strong tension cable system

🧠 When you understand how your spine is built, you’ll realize: pain doesn’t always mean damage. Structure doesn't equal symptoms.
