: The three normal curves, the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid back),
: and the lumbar (lower back) region affect each other. When one
: area is injured another area compensates. For example if you
: suffer from a neck injury and the muscles and joints are not
: repaired, the lower back compensates to re-establish the best
: balance possible. This can ease the pressure through out the
: spinal region; as a result this compensated area then becomes
: injury prone as well.
:
: If this imbalanced (compensating) area is injured, the pain will
: usually not go away right away because the area of primary
: injury, which caused the imbalance, is unable to compensate for
: the new injury.
:
: This can lead to long-term problems and pain unless the muscle
: damage is repaired. The pain may even alternate from the neck to
: the lower back as your body tries to help itself by letting each
: area have a periodic rest from the pressure. The imbalances
: generally gets worse with time because the excess muscle stress
: from the imbalance causes even more muscle damage and tightness.
:
: Anyone have this and recover from it???
