Your spine plays a vital role in keeping your body balanced and moving, but there’s more to it than just holding you up.
✅ The spine is the central support structure of your body, connecting different parts of your musculoskeletal system. It helps you stand upright, bend, and twist.
✅ The spinal column houses and protects the spinal cord, which is a key part of your central nervous system, transmitting messages between your brain and the rest of your body.
✅ Regular movement and exercise keep your spine flexible and strong, helping to prevent stiffness, pain, and injury.
✅ The intervertebral discs that cushion your vertebrae rely on hydration to maintain their flexibility and strength. Staying well-hydrated is crucial for spinal health.
✅ As you age, your spine undergoes changes such as disc thinning and reduced flexibility. Regular chiropractic care and proper spinal hygiene can help manage these changes.
✅ The spine naturally has three gentle curves: the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) curves. These curves are important for absorbing shock and supporting body weight.
By understanding and caring for your spine, you can help ensure it stays strong and healthy throughout your life.
