The spine's design is based on movement and function, and its natural curves and neutral alignment are key to its strength and flexibility. Each spinal section has a characteristic curve type that...
As a structural spinal condition that causes an unhealthy lateral spinal curve to develop, no changes to diet alone can improve the scoliosis itself, but a healthy diet and lifestyle can make the...
The cervical spine refers to the neck, and as the first spinal section, it connects the brain to the rest of the spine and body. It's important for the cervical spine to have its healthy curve in...
Scoliosis weakens the spine due to its uneven forces causing misalignment. Scoliosis can also impact the spine's surrounding muscles, so weak and/or unbalanced muscles can be a factor when exercising...
The spine's facet joints connect vertebral bodies and facilitate smooth gliding motion for healthy pain-free movement, and a diagnosis of facet joint arthropathy means arthritis and inflammation are...
The spine's health and function is shaped by its healthy curves and alignment. If the spine shifts out of alignment, its balance, stability, and function can be disrupted, and disruptions to spinal...
The health of the cervical spine is important. The neck has to support the weight of the head, facilitate a wide range of motion, and acts as the bridge between the brain, the spine, and the rest of...
The effects of scoliosis can be widespread, but they don't have to be with a proactive customized treatment plan. Although scoliosis is progressive, many cases are highly treatable, and while there...
While disc herniation and nerve compression often occur together, they can also develop independently of one another. Disc herniation can cause a pinched nerve, but a pinched nerve won't cause disc...
Hip joint pain can develop for a number of reasons, and the first step to long-term pain relief is determining the underlying cause of the hip pain. From disc issues to scoliosis, the sciatic nerve...
The spine has many moving parts that work together to facilitate its optimal strength and function, including its intervertebral discs and surrounding muscles. A healthy spine will have its natural...
