The Importance of Spine Care
Many of us take our spine for granted when it is healthy. Once we feel pain, however, we begin to understand how our spine affects our lives much more than we initially thought.
Your spine also referred to as the backbone, is made up of 24 vertebrae that form a column. This column spans your entire torso, from the base of your skull, all the way down to your pelvis. Discs made of a gel-like substance contained in fibrous tissue are found in between each vertebra. These discs absorb shock and allow for motion along the spine. The spinal cord is encased by the vertebrae for support and protection through the centre of the column. The spinal cord is connected directly to the brain by way of the brain stem. Nerves branch off from the spinal cord to connect all areas of the body to the brain.
The Main Functions of your Spine
The main functions of your spine are:
- To protect your spinal cord and related essential nerves
- To give structure and connection to your hips, legs, shoulders and arms
- To serve as an attachment to muscles that enable movement
- To provide framework and support for skull and ribs
- Because the spine is so inter-connected with other body systems, it is important to consider proper spine care and injury prevention.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care
It May Reduce the Need for Pain Killers
Pain killers are commonly used by people suffering from extreme discomfort. Chiropractic treatment will help you reduce the need for these pain killers.
It Can Relieve Back Pain
For addressing short-term or chronic back pain, chiropractic treatment may be a useful alternative to more invasive options like surgery or injections.
It Can Help with Digestion
The stomach and neurological systems are inextricably intertwined. Subluxations, or spinal misalignments, can interfere with digestion because nerves in your spine can influence how your body digests food.
It Can Improve Sleep Quality
Even if the misalignments in your spine don’t cause pain, they could be interfering with your sleep. Regular chiropractic adjustments relieve the nerves and bones in your spine from harmful strain and stress, allowing you to relax.
It Can Reduce Neck Discomfort
Neck pain is very common, particularly if you have bad posture, constantly bend your neck to use your phone, or sit for long periods. A chiropractor can help relieve your neck pain by releasing tension in your neck muscles and realigning your spine.
What do You Mean by Chiropractic Care?
Professional chiropractors perform spinal adjustments and other alternative treatments. Appropriate alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, especially the spine, will allow the body to repair itself, often without surgery or medicine. Adjustments are a technique for restoring mobility to joints that have been restricted due to tissue injury.
