What Is Spinal Health?
You can think of the spine as the core of the body's skeletal system. The spine is a key component of our body's ability to walk, stand, sit, and nearly every action. Problems with the spine can be extremely debilitating, and can lead to long-lasting issues including:
- Spine pain
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Radiating pain
- Balance problems
- Weakness
- Poor general wellness
If you notice any of these issues, it's important to get the help of our chiropractor to improve your spinal health.
Causes of Poor Spine Health
There are many causes of poor spinal health, which can include issues that are under your control, and some that are not.
These causes can include:
- Poor posture
- Overuse injuries
- Physical deformities such as scoliosis
- Pinched nerves such as in sciatica
- Bulging and herniated discs caused by age-related wear and tear
- Trauma to the spine
- Spinal tumors
All these ailments can quickly impact your ability to complete day to day activities. If you're suffering from any of these ailments, they can become chronic and cause severe pain if left untreated.

- Massage therapy

- Spinal decompression
- Manual adjustments
