Your Spine: The Pillar of Your Body

By Randi Morse

Do you ever think about your ability to breathe? How about your ability to walk up stairs or lift a chair and move it? We tend to take our body for granted, simply assuming that it will always do what we need it to do. It is only when our body is injured that we start to truly appreciate how amazingly efficient our body is. For example, let's talk about your spine. Your spine is something that you likely don't think a great deal about. It's there, it helps keep your body upright and functioning. When you start dealing with back pain, however, you suddenly realize exactly how important your back is for keeping the rest of your body running smoothly. Not only is your back the foundation for the rest of your body, it has other extremely important jobs as well.

Central Nervous System

One thing that most people don't know the spine is responsible for is protecting the central nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) is the communication highway between your bran and the rest of your body. If you stub your toe, for example, the CNS sends a message from the nerves in your toe to your brain telling you that you injured something. A healthy spine helps to keep the CNS working properly. When something is misaligned or is unhealthy in your back, the messages that are supposed to be sent to your brain may not be, or the signal may be scrambled and your brain may get an incorrect message. Keeping your spine healthy also means keeping your CNS healthy, a very important part of your body.

Keeping It Healthy

There are two very easy ways to keep your spine healthy: exercise and chiropractic care. Exercise not only helps keep your spine healthy, it also helps a number of different systems in the body including the respiratory system and the CNS. Getting just 90 minutes of exercise in your daily routine will go a long way towards helping to keep your spine healthy.

Regularly chiropractic care is another way to help keep your spine in tip-top shape. Chiropractors, like those at The Joint Chiropractic, aren't just there to help fix things when your back is in pain. Your chiropractor can help to keep your spine, and the systems attached to it, functioning at the highest level. With walk-in hours and affordable costs, the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic are ready to help keep your spine, arguably one of the most important parts of your body, healthy and ready to tackle whatever life throws at you.
