Evolution gave us osteochondrosis. I explain with an MRI why joints swell and back pain occurs.
What happens to the joints in the spine if the back muscles are weak and untrained? Why does our body try to hold the vertebrae in place by hypertrophying the joints? Why does fatty degeneration of the muscles sooner or later lead to back pain? I answer these and other questions in a new video about the biomechanics of the spine.
