Your Spinal Column

The Backbone Of Whole Body Health

Your spine has three basic functions. The first is support, the second is to protect your spinal cord and the third is movement. Chiropractic care helps with all three. Your spine is composed of 24 moveable vertebrae, the sacrum (the triangle shaped bone at the base) and the coccyx or tailbone. They form an S shaped curve that works like a spring and absorbs shock. These vertebrae are wider and sturdier at the middle and lower back to support your center of gravity. They narrow at the neck where they carry less weight. Along with muscles and tissues which connect and stabilize them, these vertebral bones provide the framework which keeps you upright. The spinal cord is an extension of your brain which runs through a canal in the center of the spine. Within this cord are millions of bundles of nerves which branch out of the foramin (holes between the vertebrae), sending and receiving information which controls and coordinates the organ systems, functions and cells of your entire body. Nature has packaged this incredible message system in a casing of bone, your spine. Sometimes one of these vertebrae can slip or twist out of line, and the size or shape of the opening where the nerve comes through can change. This is a condition known as vertebral subluxation, which can result in pressure, obstruction or irritation to the nerves and related tissues and structures. Even chronic muscular contraction and tension can alter this normal nerve supply. The basis of the science and art of chiropractic care is correcting and maintaining this normal nerve supply from the brain to all parts of the body. Our expertise is to recognize and correct any structural or muscular interference with this intricate pathway.

Snow Shoveling

by

For The Snow Shoveler

· If you must shovel, be careful. Listen to weather forecasts so you can rise early and have time to shovel before work.

· Layer clothing to keep your muscles warm and flexible.

· Shoveling can strain deconditioned muscles between your shoulders, in your upper back, lower back, buttocks and legs. So, do some warm up stretching before you grab that shovel.

· When you do shovel, push the snow straight ahead; don’t try and throw it. Avoid sudden twisting and turning motions, move your feet so you are not torqueing the spine.

· Bend your knees to lift while shoveling. Let the muscles of your legs and arms do the work, not your back.

· Take frequent rest breaks to take the strain off your muscles. A fatigued body asks for injury.
