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!
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.
depends on where the spine wall is bulging but it can be due to various things. Additional dead or imposed loading, perished mortar or brickwork look under floors at sleeper walls etc could even be a old perished slate or bitumen dpc etc. Hope this helps Simon
I do not think so. if pressure builds up in your skull such as from bleeding or swelling it will eventually push your small brain out of your skull and into your spine however this is destructive and will kill you.
C3-4 and C4-5 refer to specific intervertebral discs in the cervical region of the spine. C3-4 is located between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae, while C4-5 is between the fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae. These discs are situated in the neck area and play a crucial role in providing cushioning and facilitating movement between the vertebrae. They also house important nerves that influence functions in the upper body.
Yes you need a certification
If you broke your spine with or without scoliosis you will need spine surgery. You will also need to take physical therapy to help strengthen your spine after the surgery.
to keep it nice and strange baby
The animals are starving and need to be fed. If they are so thin that their spine shows, it is probably to late to save them.
So the vertebrae in your spine will not grind agaist each other.
Yes, TB spine is definitely curable like any other disease. But, this will need regular anti tubercular treatment( like antibiotics) from 9 to 12 months. some times surgical intervention may be needed for removal of pus collected near spine or any deformity of the spine.
Yes. For one, scoliosis is when your spine is set irregularly, and you would need an upper body brace to straiten out your spine. Mild scoliosis is even worse. It's when your spine is set in an even more crooked positioning, and you would need a upper body brace and wear it for a few weeks. If you have it, you should see a doctor.
The plural of spine is spines.
for us to be standing up and not limping we also need it for us to let our food come down correctly and not chock !!
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.
yes every thing exept the spine
The spine needs water to be able to lubricate the joints between the vertebrae. When the spinal column gets low on moisture, the nerves within the canal can get pinched between the vertebrae.
A vertebrate is an animal with a spine.
