The Building Blocks of a Healthy Spine Your spine consists of bones (vertebrae), discs, ligaments, and muscles. Protein: Proteins provide the amino acids necessary for building and repairing tissues, including the spine's muscles and ligaments. Lean meats, fish, dairy, beans, and tofu are excellent protein sources.

Physical Strain and Overuse Repetitive activities or overexertion can lead to muscle strains or ligament sprains, which are common causes of lower back pain. The discs between the vertebrae can lose hydration and elasticity, known as disc degeneration, which can reduce their ability to cushion the vertebrae and absorb shock.
