We’re living in the most health conscious era yet, but not many people consider the health of their backs as relevant to their overall wellbeing. But a healthy spine can have a very positive influence on your health in general.
Our Southend chiropractor explains that the spine’s primary function is to surround and protect the spinal cord, through which every message from the brains travels to the rest of the body. It is these nerves that control every single bodily function, from limb movements to organ control.
So if you have a damaged or stiff joint in the spine, and it impinges a nerve, it can cause a lot more than just back pain – a nerve pathway can become disrupted and other areas or organs of your body may suffer as a result.
Good spine health is more important than most people realise. Look after your spine – it serves you well!
