Anatomy of the Spine & Arthritis
The spine is made up of vertebrae, facet joints (causing back pain across the back), cushions, disc spaces, nerves that run down the leg (sciatica pain) and the sacrum with sacroiliac joints (which can have arthritis in them as well).
When parts of the spine begin to deteriorate, the arthritic pain radiates outward from the spine in most cases.

What is Arthritis & Arthritis Prevention
Arthritis is the deterioration of the spaces between the bones. As time goes by, the fluid between the joints that cushions your bones dries up. This provides a bone-on-bone issue.
Things you should try to prevent arthritis: Exercise and daily activity, supplements like chondroitin, as well as anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric. Follow a low sugar diet to reduce the risk of arthritis.
