This image below 👇 is a comprehensive guide to understanding the spinal cord's segments and their corresponding nerve supplies, as well as common warning signs for potential health issues.
There are 5 layers of back muscles attaching to these vertebrae. An imbalance to any muscle will misalign these vertebrae, creating nerve interference.
The left side of the infographic features a diagram of the spine, with each segment labeled from C1 to L5. These segments are:
- C1-C7: Cervical spine
- T1-T12: Thoracic spine
- L1-L5: Lumbar spine
Nerve Supplies
The middle column lists the nerve supplies for each spinal segment, including:
- C1: Blood supply to the head, pituitary gland, scalp, bones of the face, brain, inner ear, and middle ear
- C2: Eyes, ears, sinuses, tongue, forehead
- C3: Cheeks, outer ear, face bones, teeth, facial nerves
- ...
- L5: Lower back, buttocks, thighs, legs, feet, sciatic nerve, large intestine
Common Warning Signs
The right column lists common warning signs for potential health issues related to each spinal segment, including:
- C1: Headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, migraines, chronic fatigue, dizziness
- C2: Sinusitis, ear aches, pain around the eyes, vision problems, hearing problems
- C3: Neuralgia, pimples, eczema
- ...
- L5: Back pain, leg pain, constipation, sacroiliac conditions, back pain, hip pain, hemorrhoids, tail bone pain
Correlation between Spinal Segments and Health Issues
The infographic correlates specific spinal segments with potential health issues, enabling early detection and prevention. For example, issues with the C1 segment may indicate headaches, insomnia, or high blood pressure, while issues with the L5 segment may indicate back pain, leg pain, or constipation.
Overall, this infographic provides a valuable resource for understanding the complex relationships between the spinal cord, nerve supplies, and potential health issues.
