Скачать или смотреть Am I the source of your back pain or imbalances? The INTERSPINALES

The INTERSPINALES are tiny, deep spinal muscles connecting adjacent vertebrae, acting like spinal "shock absorbers" for posture and stabilization, especially in the neck (cervical) and lower back (lumbar), often disappearing in the mid-back (thoracic) where they're less needed, packed with sensors (muscle spindles) for proprioception, and while too small for big movements, they're crucial for precise spinal control.

Key Facts & Cool Features; THE INTERSPINALES ARE A SET OF SMALL MUSCLES ALONG THE SPINE. THEY ARE DEEP AND TINY MUSCLES, IN FACT, they are the deepest layer of back muscles, running between the tips (spinous processes) of two neighboring vertebrae. They are most developed in the neck and low back (where movement and control are far more vital) but often, they are absent in the mid-back or the thoracic spine. The main job isn't performing big movements but fine-tuning spinal stability, posture, and controlling vertebral position, like tiny sensors. The Interspinales have been found to be packed with muscle spindles which are proprioceptors that tell your brain exactly where your spine is, helping adjust muscle tension.
Spinal "Shock Absorbers": They work with ligaments and other deep muscles (like the Multifidus/ one ofmy absolute favorite muscles) in a fascial network, essentially cushioning and stabilizing segments of your spine. Because the Interspinales muscles are so small and deep, they're difficult to palpate (or to feel) or even measure with standard EMG, making them more mysterious to the general population but vital for our spinal health. The interspinales muscles are named for where they are located in the body/ along the spine: interspinales cervicis (neck), thoracis (chest), and lumborum (lower back).
