SUMMARY
Human spinal cord is a rigid structure capable of supporting pressure, but also elastic, which allows a high degree of motility.
These two concepts are opposite, but they
have been experimented along evolution and the result has
been an appropriate balance between both of them.
This balance, almost perfect, is achieved through muscle, aponeurotic and mixed (hydroaerial chamber) protective systems.
When such spinal balance is lost and pain appears, these systems have to be reviewed and generally
one o more failures are identified.
An updating of spinal biomechanics is justified by the
need to understand the intervention mechanisms and their
control.
