Inside the Brain & Spine – most people will have burnt their hand at some point or another. It may have just been for a split-second but it hurts! That lightning-fast, pull your hand back, happens without thought. That action is called a reflex arc – a rapid, involuntary reaction to a stimulus that is mediated by the spinal cord. The brain receives the signal a little bit later and that is when the pain really kicks in. The key functions of the reflex are to keep you protected from injury and maintain internal homeostatic balance.

Super Spine Stuff - Remember the saying, “Step on a crack, break your mother’s back”? Cracking your back generally won’t break it. The pop you hear when you stretch or twist isn’t made by your bones moving out of place – it’s actually caused by a process called cavitation. Our joints are cushioned by synovial fluid, which contains tiny amounts of dissolved gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide. When you stretch, the joint capsule expands, reducing pressure inside the fluid. The gases then form a bubble and pop! As with most things, moderation is key. Cracking your back shouldn’t cause pain but if it does, it might be worth seeing your GP. But when it comes to avoiding cracks on the footpath… that’s still up to you!

Super Spine Stuff – we all know that cigarette smoking in the #1 cause of lung cancer worldwide. But did you know that it can seriously damage your spine too? Smoking (and even va**ng) reduces blood flow and nutrients to spinal tissues, speeds up disc degeneration, weakens bones, ramps up inflammation and slows down healing. The result? More back pain, increased spine instability and worse surgical outcomes. Another reason to quit, don’t you think?

Super Spine Stuff – the spine is one of the strongest structures in the human body. In fact, a healthy spine can withstand 1,000 newtons of axial compressive force — that’s like carrying a 102 kg weight vertically on your head and shoulders! Of course, real-life load capacity depends on posture, disc health, muscle support, and movement. But it’s a reminder of just how incredible the human spine really is. Maybe we really do carry the world on our shoulders...

Super Spine Stuff – Did you know babies are born with 33 vertebrae, but most adults have just 26? This is totally normal! Starting around age 20, the bones at the bottom of the spine begin to fuse — and the process takes years. By middle age, the five sacral vertebrae have usually joined to form the sacrum, and the four coccygeal bones fuse into the coccyx, aka your tailbone. Just one more way that your body adapts and evolves over time!
