Spine 101
What is a Spine?
Our spine has 24 moveable bones, stacked in a column of bony blocks that sit on top of each other and separated by discs and joints. The bones are joined together with ligaments and muscles that run across the joints and discs.
The Role of the Spine
The role of the spine is to support the body and provide it with mobility so that we can bend and twist in all directions and at the same time protect spinal cord and nerves that run through it.
Above all, it has to last a lifetime.
