🦴 What are spinal discs?

Spinal discs are the soft cushions between the bones of your spine.

They act like shock absorbers, helping your spine move, bend, and twist while protecting your nerves.

Each disc has a strong outer layer for support and a soft, jelly-like centre to absorb pressure.

💡 Why are discs important? They:
✔ Reduce impact from daily movement
✔ Help keep space between spinal bones
✔ Support healthy movement and flexibility

✨ Spinal discs don’t have their own blood supply — they rely on movement to get nutrients. That’s why gentle motion is so important for spinal health!

🔄 As we age, discs naturally lose some water and flexibility — this is normal, not automatically a problem.

Your spine is designed to move — and movement helps keep it healthy 👍

🦴 Your Lower Back (Lumbar Spine) Explained!

Your lower back, called the lumbar spine, is made up of five bones (L1–L5). This area does a lot of work every day — supporting your body weight, helping you move, and protecting important nerves. 🏋‍♂️

The bones in your lower back are larger and stronger than the rest of your spine. Between them are cushions called discs that act like shock absorbers. These help your back handle everyday movements like bending, standing, and lifting. The joints in this area allow you to bend forward, backward, and side to side, while limiting twisting to keep your spine safe.

Because the lumbar spine carries so much load, it’s a common place for stiffness, strain, and pain — especially with poor posture, long periods of sitting, or improper lifting. The lowest segment, where the spine meets the pelvis, tends to experience the most stress.

Chiropractic care focuses on how well your lower back is moving and how it’s working with the rest of your body. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore normal motion, reduce stress on the joints, and help your nervous system function more smoothly. Care is often paired with simple exercises, stretching, and posture advice to help keep your back healthy long term. 😊

A healthy lower back helps you move more freely, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Cervical Spine 101 (a quick + easy guide!) 🦴

Your neck is made of 7 small bones called cervical vertebrae. The middle ones (C3–C6) are the “typical” ones — the ones most people think of when they picture neck bones.

Here’s what makes them cool:

🦴 They’re small and super mobile
They let you look up, down, side-to-side, and tilt your head. Lots of movement = lots of responsibility!

🕳️ They have little holes for arteries
These holes let important blood vessels travel up to your brain.

🔗 They stack like a flexible chain
If one gets stiff or stuck, the others have to work harder, which can create tension or tightness.

How that relates to chiropractic:

✨ Chiropractors check how well these neck joints move.
✨ They look for areas that feel tight, stiff, or not moving as smoothly as the rest.
✨ Because your neck muscles attach all over these tiny bones, posture or stress can make them work overtime.
✨ Improving motion in these segments can help the whole neck move and feel better.
