What are rotators?
The muscles of the rotators are a group of muscles located deep in the spine. These muscles have quadrilateral shape and are found on each side of the spine. This group of muscles helps to enable proper posture and helps in the ability of the body unconsciously realize the location of certain areas of the body. These muscles protect the spine joints from degeneration and provide vertebral stability and help them work more efficiently. The attitude is also influenced by multifidus muscles as they help hold the body in a vertical position.
The rotator muscles begin on the side of the vertebrae called the transverse process. This structure is basically a bone protrusion extending from the sides of the vertebrae. The transverse process is a point of connection for the muscles and binding of the spine. From the transverse process of rotators, they extend upwards to the turns located above. This nerve carries sensory and motor signals into the muscles and skin of the spinal area of the body. The blood supply to the rotator muscles comes from different branches of the aorta, the largest of the arteries found in the human body.
Although the muscles of the rotators are important backbone muscles, they are found only in the thoracic area of the spine. This is the part of the spine located in the center or chest area just below the cervix area. This is the area of the spine that allows the movement of ribs and surrounding structures. The spine rotation is also allowed to muscles of the rotators.
any of the muscles placed in the area of the spine is susceptible to injury. If the muscles of the rotators are damaged, the ability to move effectively. Treatment depends on the type and extent of the injury. Medicines and physical therapy are common treatment, with surgery is an option in extreme cases of injury or damage to muscles or surrounding tissues or structures. As with any other back injury, medical help should be quickly sought if the damage is suspected to ensure correct diagnosis and treatment.
