📍 Spine Series: The Sacrum & Coccyx (Tailbone Region)

We’ve made it to the foundation of your spine: the sacrum & coccyx.

✨ What are they?
• The sacrum is a triangular bone made up of 5 fused vertebrae (S1–S5), connecting the spine to the pelvis.
• The coccyx (tailbone) is 3–5 small fused bones sitting just below the sacrum.

Together, they anchor the upper body to the lower body and play a crucial role in stability and movement.

🔗 What do they connect to?
• Sacrum forms the back of the pelvis, connecting at the sacroiliac (SI) joints.
• They support:
• Pelvic alignment & stability
• Weight transfer between upper & lower body
• Posture & balance
• The coccyx provides attachment for muscles & ligaments involved in sitting, walking & pelvic floor function.

⚠️ Common Issues
• SI joint dysfunction (pain at the base of spine/pelvis)
• Tailbone pain (falls, prolonged sitting, childbirth)
• Pelvic imbalance → hip & low back discomfort
• Referred pain into groin, hips, or legs
• Pregnancy-related pelvic instability 🤰

💡 Why it matters:
The sacrum & coccyx form your structural core. Dysfunction here can impact standing, walking, and stability.

Caring for this area can:
✅ Reduce pelvic & tailbone pain
✅ Support hip & low back stability
✅ Improve posture & core strength
✅ Aid pregnancy & postpartum comfort

📍 Spine Series: Your Spine & Nervous System – More Than Just Pain Relief

Your spine does more than support your body—it protects your nervous system, the master control center of everything you do. 🧠⚡️

✨ How are they connected?
• The spinal cord runs through your spine, carrying messages between your brain & body
• Each spinal segment links to specific nerves that connect with organs, muscles, and tissues

⚠️ What happens when alignment is off?
Spinal dysfunction can cause nerve interference, disrupting communication in the body. This may not always feel like back pain—it can look like:
• Headaches or fatigue
• Digestive issues 🍽️
• Poor sleep or brain fog 😴
• Hormonal imbalances or lowered immunity

💡 Why it matters
When your spine moves well, your nervous system functions better. Chiropractic care helps your body:
✅ Adapt to stress
✅ Regulate systems (digestion, hormones, immunity)
✅ Heal & recover
✅ Perform at its best

📍 Spine Series: Why Chiropractic Care is About More Than Just Back Pain

Time to tackle a big misconception: chiropractic isn’t just about back pain.

✨ A Holistic Approach
Chiropractic focuses on the spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal health. Chiropractors assess how the spine, joints, and muscles work together to support movement & function.

⚡️ It’s Not Just About Pain Relief
Yes—many people first visit for pain. But care also helps with:
• Healthy spinal movement & joint function
• Muscle tension & postural imbalances
• Encouraging better daily movement habits
• Keeping you active, mobile, and comfortable

✨ How it all connects
Your spine plays a central role in posture, balance, and mobility. Restrictions here can affect:
• How you bend, twist, lift, or sit
• Breathing & energy
• Even recovery from stress & injury

👩‍⚕️ Chiropractic can support:
✅ Desk workers with postural strain
✅ Athletes improving mobility & performance
✅ People recovering from injury
✅ Anyone looking to move & feel better

💡 Chiropractic care isn’t about “cracking backs”—it’s about helping your body function at its best so you can live, move, and feel better every day.

📍 Spine Series: Pregnancy & the Spine – What’s Really Happening?

Pregnancy brings incredible changes—but it also puts extra strain on the spine and pelvis. Here’s how:

✨ What changes during pregnancy?
• Postural shifts: Growing belly = increased lower back curve (lordosis) 🤰
• Pelvic mobility: Hormones like relaxin loosen ligaments
• Increased spinal load: Extra weight = pressure on lumbar spine & hips
• Core weakening: Stretched abdominal muscles = less support for the spine

⚠️ Common Issues
• Sciatica ⚡️
• SI joint pain
• Tailbone discomfort
• Neck & upper back tension
• Round ligament pain

💡 How Chiropractic Care Can Help
• Improve pelvic alignment & relieve joint pressure
• Support optimal fetal positioning 👶
• Reduce pain & discomfort without medication
• Prepare your body for smoother delivery & recovery

✨ Pregnancy is a time of change—but it doesn’t have to be painful. Chiropractic care is a gentle, safe way to help your spine & pelvis adapt.

📍 Spine Series: The Lumbar Spine (Your Lower Back)

We’ve explored the neck and mid-back—now let’s dive into one of the most talked-about areas: the lumbar spine (lower back).

✨ What is the Lumbar Spine?
The lumbar spine has 5 vertebrae (L1–L5). These are the largest & strongest bones in your spine because they carry the most weight—especially during lifting, bending, and twisting.

It provides both stability and movement, helping you walk, stand tall, and move efficiently.

🔗 What does it connect to?
• The lumbar spine links your mid-back to your pelvis
• Works closely with:
• Core & abdominal muscles 💪
• Glutes & hip flexors 🍑
• Pelvic joints
• Nerves that extend into hips, legs & feet

⚠️ Common Lumbar Spine Issues
• Muscle strain from lifting or bending
• Poor posture or prolonged sitting
• Disc problems (bulges/herniations)
• Sciatica ⚡️ (pain/tingling down the leg)
• Weak core or glutes → poor support

💡 Why it matters:
Your lumbar spine is your foundation. Problems here can affect your hips, pelvis, legs, and even sleep.

Supporting lumbar health can:
✅ Reduce back pain
✅ Improve core strength & posture
✅ Restore safe movement patterns
✅ Boost energy & mobility

👉 Next time: we’ll reach the base of the spine—the sacrum & coccyx (tailbone region).

📍 Spine Series: 5 Easy Habits for a Healthier Spine

You don’t need fancy equipment to take care of your spine — just a few daily habits can make a big difference.

✨ Try these 5 simple tips:

1️⃣ Take Movement Breaks
Sitting for long periods compresses the spine. Stand, stretch, or walk every 30–60 minutes—even 2 minutes helps! 🚶‍♀️

2️⃣ Stretch Daily
Keep your spine mobile with:
• Cat-Cow 🐱🐮
• Thoracic rotations
• Child’s pose 🙇‍♀️
• Gentle forward folds

3️⃣ Engage Your Core
Think of a soft brace—not a crunch. A strong core = stable spine 💪

4️⃣ Check Your Tech Posture
Keep screens at eye level 👀, shoulders relaxed, and avoid craning your neck forward. (That 5–10kg head feels much heavier when it leans forward!) 📱💻

5️⃣ Supportive Sleep
Choose a pillow that supports your neck. Sleep on your back or side with a pillow between your knees for natural alignment 🛏️.

💡 Small, consistent changes = long-term spinal health. Combine these habits with regular chiropractic care to keep your spine strong & mobile.

📍 Spine Series: The Cervical Spine (Your Neck)

Welcome to our Spine Series! Each week, we’ll explore a different part of your spine—what it does, how it affects your body, and why caring for it matters.

✨ What is the Cervical Spine?
The cervical spine is the top section of your spine—what most people simply call the neck. It has 7 vertebrae (C1–C7) starting just beneath the skull. These vertebrae are small and mobile, allowing you to nod, tilt, and turn your head with ease.

🔗 What does it connect to?
• C1 (Atlas) & C2 (Axis) support the skull and allow head rotation.
• It protects the upper spinal cord and connects to muscles, ligaments, and nerves that influence:
• Head & neck movement
• Shoulders & upper back
• Even parts of your arms & hands

⚠️ Common Cervical Spine Issues
• Forward head posture from phone/laptop use 📱💻
• Slouching while sitting or driving 🚗
• Poor sleeping posture 😴
• Headaches linked to neck dysfunction
• Nerve irritation causing tingling or numbness in arms/hands

💡 Why it matters:
Your neck does more than hold up your head—it plays a key role in posture, mobility, and nervous system health. Caring for it can improve:
✅ Neck pain & stiffness
✅ Headaches & jaw tension
✅ Posture & upper back comfort
✅ Overall mobility & energy

👉 Next week: we’ll move down the spine to explore the thoracic spine (mid-back).
