It's brilliantly designed to provide:

Support - The spine is responsible for good posture and supporting the weight of your body. It's what allows you to stand upright.

Movement - Many people will never realize how important their spines are for bending, twisting, and moving… that is, until they injure it. Seemingly simple actions like turning your head while pulling out of a parking space, or reaching to pick up an envelope from your desk are entirely dependent on a healthy spine. These movements are nearly impossible with a ruptured disc.

Protection - The most vital role your spine plays is in the protection your spinal cord. Think of the spine as armor. It designed to shield the nervous system from injury. No other part of your body, apart from the skull, is completely encased in bone. That means it's uber important!

You don't have to be Lance Armstorng to know that if your bicycle has a bent wheel, you won't be winning the Tour de France. This is an easy, no-brainer example of how well-balanced structure governs normal function. The Upper Cervical model of chiropractic care was founded on this "structure dictates function" precept. The quality of motion and balancewithin your spine is a very telling indicator of your overall health.

It's impossible to be healthy with a misaligned spine full of degenerated joints and fused disc spaces. Spinal decay is a serious issue, and is often overlooked or completely neglected.

Realize that you use your spine every minute of every day for your entire life. While hips, hair, knees, and teeth can be replaced, your spine and nervous system cannot. This is why it's critical that you stretch regularly, stay hydrated, and have a chiropractor to periodically check your spine to make sure it stays healthy and balanced.

You only get one spine and nervous system; make it count!

What is asymmetric left facet degeneration?

The question rather broad. For one thing it does not isolate the spine region. The facet joints are non- load bearing joints in the spine. They guide the motion of the spine while the disks bear the load. Facets can degenerate for several reasons. Disease or pathology. Trauma ( direct or from loadbearing). Congenital anomaly. The result will be arthritic pain or worse if the articular nerves are effected or the facet hypertrophies to the point of putting pressure on the exiting nerve root.

When honing a straight razor should the spine of the razor be touching the stone?

In most cases, yes. If the bevel of the edge is correct, the spine will need to be touching the stone to keep it that way as you hone. If you wish to avoid damage to delicate spine work you can "tape" the spine by using electrical tape. If you choose to do this, you probably want to tape the spine each time you hone said blade so that you maintain the correct bevel.
