http://TheBadBackGuy.net The Second Factor: Muscle Weakness! The second of the 5 factors contributing to neck pain, back pain and sciatica is muscle weakness. This factor is a complex one. The spine is an important and complex system. The first of the five factors was excess weight and/or obesity and we discussed that at length. Muscle weakness, while seemingly a very simple concept, is actually quite complex, because the spine is a complex system.

The musculoskeletal system, and thus the spine, is affected by muscle weakness because as muscles weaken, other components in the spinal system must compensate and do their job for them. This places extraordinary stress and pressure on the spine as a whole and on the individual components, the ligaments and tendons, the intervertebral discs or IVDs, and the vertebrae themselves. With each breakdown in the system, more pain is created.

  • thank you for posting.. i suffer all thats mentioned and A.S. and CHD as well... despite all the above i get along but im not really active... you get to such a stage despite activity the pain keeps coming back.. i think it differs from person to person.. i think with sciatica, rest is the only thing as i have been advised... and alot of these things are related to arthritis which as you know is hereditary.. therefore the condition remains no matter what you do.. im suffering now for 33 years..
