| 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!
