Why is Spinal Health Important?

Your spine comprises bones, muscles, and other tissues that work together to support your body. It also protects your spinal cord which is a vital part of your nervous system. When your spine is healthy, you can move freely and without pain. But when it’s not in good condition, you may have trouble moving or experience pain. That’s why it’s important to take care of your spine. Exercising and stretching help keep your spine healthy and reduce your risk of pain and other health problems.

Common Conditions that Affect the Spine

Many conditions can affect the spine. Some common ones include:

Disc Degeneration

This occurs when the discs that cushion the bones of your spine begin to break down.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that affects the joints of your spine.

Spinal Stenosis

This is a condition in which the spaces between the bones of your spine begin to narrow, putting pressure on your spinal cord.
