the ongoing dysfunction of the neck and spine.
This dysfunction causes a breakdown of the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints.
Continued degeneration of the cartilage can actually allow the bones that it previously protected to rub against each other and create serious discomfort.
Osteoarthritis can affect anyone whose muscles tighten so much that they disallow the spine
from working correctly and limits his or her range of motion.
Those constantly contracted muscles in turn created a loss of joint movement in the daughter’s neck that led to premature degeneration of her cervical discs.
The long and short of it is - movement encourages health; inactivity invites dysfunction.
