Summary: Backs in Motion by Maharan MD
Review: This is an excellent rendition on the functioning of the back.
There is a complete explanation of the atlas, axis vertebra prominens, thoracic curvature and sacral curvature. The classic
leaning forward or kyphosis is depicted. The tri-joint complex is shown; whereby, there is a superior vertebral notch and fibrocartilage. The kyphosis loads the front of the vertebrae and
squeezes until the classic bulge protrudes.
Spinal stenosis
results when the spinal canal is too tight. Electrogalvanic stimulation increases circulation. Specific exercises are
cited to assist with spinal health maintenance.
Facet joints are a root problem in approximately 80% of patients.
Sprains may be a result of muscle spasms. Trigger points in
muscles may be handled with Electrogalvanic stimulation.
A number of exercises improve back health. Lying flat on your
back and bending the knees improves functioning. In addition,
placing the leg straight on a flat table/surface may improve
spinal posture. The discs act as shock absorbers.

This book is excellent as a health reference on the spine.
