Apart from the nerves what makes spinal injuries so difficult to heal?
In: 20
While the obvious one is the bunch of nerves, there is the physical structural part of the spine.
The spine is also made of vertebrae, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. All supporting a large amount of nerves. All of these are working together to keep the body supported, as well as balance a 10lb head stuck on top. While doing this, it also needs to remain flexible.
So even if the cord itself is not damaged, many people develop backpain due lifestyle, fitness levels, injuries or just straight up bad luck.
