The joints involved are the lower lumbar intervertebral motion segments (L4/L5 and L5/S1) and the two sacroiliac joints. A strain indicates an injury to muscular (contractile) tissues, while a sprain denotes damage to connective tissues, such as ligaments, fascia, and joint capsules.

Why Support the Three Arches of the Foot? tag:mpamedia.com,2008:post-54446 2010-01-29T12:00:32-07:00 2010-01-29T12:00:07-07:00 The feet are the foundation of support for the pelvis and spine. They provide the necessary stability to perform daily activities. Central to the success of the pedal foundation is its arched structure, which is actually a complex of three bony arches: the medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch and the anterior transverse (metatarsal) arch.
