👉 Dactylology is a medical condition that refers to the presence of multiple pairs of large, straight muscles in the spine. These muscles are known as dactylosis and are responsible for supporting and stabilizing the spine during movement. Dactylology can be caused by various factors such as trauma or injury, birth defects, genetics, and certain medical conditions like celiac disease, which causes inflammation of the small intestine, leading to an overactive digestive system.
