Stress fractures spine
Most stress fractures happen in the feet or the lumbar area of the spine. The spine is
devided into 3 areas the lumbar is the lower back, the thoracic is the middle back and the
largest section and the cervical is the neck area.
Stress fractures can happen in the spine when muscles become fatigued and are unable to
absorb added shock. Eventually, the fatigued muscle transfers the overload of stress to
the bone causing a tiny crack called a stress fracture. |
