Something similar to the recalls and the spine: he fulfills the role of the main shank of this wonderful bio-design — the human body and the role of bend the fibers by the muscles of the back. Imagine now that the site is bound next, and the body with all its internal organs, so the poor threads-your muscles need to withstand not only the weight of the spine-rod, but also the own weight of the entire body and in addition constantly.

Unconsciously you come to the conclusion that actually, the Creator of us conceived initially not Homo erectus, because of the "fee for bipedalism" shows some excessively large. Open any of the medical directory in the section "Diseases of the musculoskeletal system", to make sure.

  2. Scoliosis — curvature, which leads to the displacement of the disc and injury to their nerve root
  3. Intervertebral hernia — with access from the disk to his core or spine (which is much worse) side of the spinal cord
  4. Spondilolistezom — image of the upper vertebra on the lower, due to deformation of the legs of the vertebrae, in consequence of which the spine becomes like a ladder with exposed stairs
  5. Bechterew (spondylitis) — an inflammation of the ligaments and joints, which leads to their immobility. Basically they suffer from men. The danger of this rare disease in its ongoing development — from the progressive capture of all divisions of the spine on the transition to the internal organs: lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, organs of sight.
