Get to Know Your Spine!

Your Spine is the link between your brain and all other muscles, tissues, and cells in your body. With out the Spinal Column, the Spinal Cord would become vulnerable to trauma very easily. The bones of the spine column help to protect the spinal cord and the exiting nerve roots. The following is a Spinal Nerve Function Chart, this illustrates the specific nerves that exit the spinal column and travel to their end organ, tissues or cell. If you are experiencing any of these problems, coupled with backpain or not, schedule an appointment today, you may have underlying spinal problems!
