The Holistic Wellness Event Featured Vendor: Genesis Family Chiropractic

In their own words: "We’re a neurologically focused chiropractic office in Sand Springs, OK, with specialization in pediatrics, pregnancy, whole family care, and animals. We believe that the body was designed by God, that it possesses the ability to heal itself, and that that ability to heal is fully unlocked and optimized through the optimization of the central nervous system, the one organ that controls everything in the body.

🦴✨ L3: Stability Meets Power & Autonomic Balance ✨🦴

Your L3 vertebra is a central pillar in the lumbar spine—bearing weight, absorbing forces, and protecting the L3 nerve roots as they branch out to fuel movement and sensation.

⚡ L3 Nerve Roots
• Motor: quadriceps (knee extension) & hip flexors
• Reflex: patellar reflex
• Sensory: anterior thigh & medial knee

🌐 Indirect Autonomic Influence
Beyond motion and feeling, L3 communicates with the sympathetic trunk via gray rami communicantes. From there, autonomic fibers can connect with splanchnic nerves, helping regulate vascular (blood vessels) tone, visceral (organs) activity, and sympathetic outflow to the lower body.

👉 Think of it like this:
• L3 vertebra = shield 🛡️
• L3 roots = movers & feelers ⚡
• Sympathetic trunk & splanchnics = silent regulators 🌐

Together, they balance strength, sensation, and autonomic control—all under the protection of L3.

🦴✨ C7: The Backbone of Power & Balance ✨🦴

The C7 vertebra—often called the “vertebral prominens”—is a landmark you can feel at the base of your neck. But beneath that bony ridge, it shields two major players: the C7 & C8 nerve roots.

⚡ C7 Nerve Root
• Motor: triceps (elbow extension), wrist flexors, finger extensors
• Reflex: triceps reflex
• Sensory: middle finger

⚡ C8 Nerve Root
• Motor: finger flexors & intrinsic hand muscles (grip power ✊)
• Reflex: none specific, but critical for fine motor control
• Sensory: medial forearm, ring & little fingers

🌐 Indirect Autonomic Connection
While C7–C8 roots drive strength and sensation in the arm and hand, they also communicate with the cervical sympathetic ganglia via gray rami. This link helps regulate blood flow, sweating, and autonomic balance in the upper limb—quietly supporting function behind the scenes.

🦴✨ C5 Vertebra & the Power Beneath ✨🦴

The C5 vertebra shields the C5 & C6 nerve roots—vital pathways for upper limb strength and sensation. But that’s not the whole story…

⚡ C5 Nerve Root
• Motor: deltoid & biceps (lift + bend)
• Reflex: biceps tendon
• Sensory: lateral shoulder & upper arm

⚡ C6 Nerve Root
• Motor: wrist extensors, biceps, brachioradialis
• Reflex: brachioradialis
• Sensory: lateral forearm, thumb & index finger

🌐 Indirect Influence
Although they don’t directly supply the pharynx, larynx, or thyroid, these roots sit near the cervical sympathetic ganglia. Through gray rami communicantes, they interact with autonomic fibers that regulate vascular tone, sweat glands, and other sympathetic functions in the head, neck, and upper limb.

👉 In other words:
• C5 vertebra = protector 🛡️
• C5–C6 roots = movers & feelers ⚡
• Cervical ganglia = autonomic regulators

Together, they keep motion, sensation, and autonomic balance working in harmony.

✨ Meet C2: The “Axis” ✨
C2 is the 2nd bone in your neck and it’s a big deal! 🦴

👉 What it does:
• Teams up with C1 to let your head turn side to side (like saying “no”).
• Helps support your skull and protect the spinal cord.

👉 Nerves around C2:
• Send feeling to the back of your head and upper neck.
• Play a role in some headaches (like tension or migraines).
• Help tiny neck muscles keep your head steady.

💡 Why it matters: A healthy C2 means easier movement, less strain, and better comfort in daily life. Small bone, big impact!

Meet the Atlas (C1) — the first bone in your neck and the one holding your head up (literally). 🗿✨

It’s not built like the rest: no body, just a ring that cradles your skull and lets you nod “yes.” Above, it connects to the occiput; below, it pairs with the Axis (C2) so you can shake your head “no.” 🙆‍♀️🙅‍♂️

Big deal for nerves too — the suboccipital nerve runs through here, fueling deep neck stability and influencing posture, balance, and even headaches.

Small bone. Huge responsibility. 🔑
