The Erector Spinae muscle actually consists of three columns of muscles, the Iliocostalis, Longissimus, and Spinalis, each running parallel on either outer side of the Vertebra and extending from the lower back of the skull all the way down to the Pelvis.
The multifidus muscle is a series of small, triangular muscle bundles located on either side of the spinal column that make up the 2nd layer of the deep back muscles. Composed of 3 layers total, the deep back muscles are collectively called the intrinsic layer. Yet another name for this group is the transversospinal layer.
Above the transversospinal (deep) layer of back muscles is the superficial layer.The superficial layer is also known as the extrinsic muscles or the "erector spinae," or simply the paraspinal muscles.
The multifidus stabilizes the spine and helps the erector to move it.
An asymmetrical contraction of the erector spinae muscles can result in lateral flexion of the spine, where the spine bends to one side.
Bilateral contraction of the erector spinae group results in extension of the spine, helping to maintain an erect posture and stabilize the vertebral column during activities like standing and lifting.
Erector Spinae are extensor muscles encompasing the neck and trunk. Extensor movement is antagonistic to flexor movement. Therefore, find a muscle of the neck and a muscle of the trunk that act as flexors. That should answer your question without giving away all of the milk and honey!
The erector spinae muscles are responsible for extending the vertebral column. They run along the spine and help to maintain posture and assist in movements like bending backward or standing upright.
Yes, muscle spasms in the back can be caused by the erector spinae muscles contracting involuntarily. This can occur due to factors such as muscle fatigue, poor posture, or injury. Stretching, massage, and strengthening exercises can help alleviate and prevent these spasms.
