Spinal Health Week 19-25 May 2014

Your Spine and Your Health

Have you ever wondered if your spine is really that important to the overall health of your body? Isn’t the spine’s job just to keep us walking upright?

The simple answer is no. While our spine is responsible for obvious functions such as walking, sitting and bending, it is actually the cornerstone to our overall health and ability to function well. Here’s why:

 

·         Your spine supports your head, neck, shoulders and pelvis; the major structures of your body.

 

·         It protects your central nervous system (located in your spinal cord) which is responsible for the control and functioning of every cell, tissue and organ in your body.

 

·         Hundreds of muscles, ligaments and tendons are attached to your spine.

 

·         It is literally the “backbone” to the healthy function of your body!
