Understanding The Complex Spine

Your spine is a complex structure that is crucial to your overall health. Your spinal column is made up of bones (vertebrae), ligaments, muscles, discs, cartilage, joints and nerves. A chiropractor is specially trained to understand the complexities of your spine and to care for many spinal conditions. Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness can improve spine health and range of motion.

Cervical Spine (Neck), vertebrae have the greatest range of motion. The main function is to support the weight of your head. (8-12 pounds)
Thoracic (Chest and Trunk area), is to protect chest organs including your Heart and Lungs.
Lumbar (Low Back), this is the weight bearing portion of your spine. It is positioned in the shape of a reverse “C”. This is the area that is most likely to have chronic pain.
Sacral or Sacrum (Pelvic Region), with a Tailbone (Coccyx) at the end.
