The spine, an axis connected to many organs
The picture below shows you in detail how the spine is linked to many internal organs:
G. K Cherleston said, "It's easier to see the North Pole than to see your own backbone." Yet, even if you do not see it, this central and essential axis of your body should not be neglected. On the contrary, you should pay particular attention to it.
The spine is actually a group of 33 vertebrae aligned in the center of your back, these small bones provide protection and support for the spinal cord. In addition, it allows you to bend, move or move your upper body in all directions.
All your organs and all parts of your body are constantly controlled and coordinated by your central nervous system, which is composed of two main organs: the brain and the spine. Thus, your brain constantly receives and sends information to your organs via your backbone. Therefore, when you feel pain, it may be directly related to your spine.
Osteopaths say that 70% of headaches come from the spine but that's not all. Vision problems, numbness, ringing ears, digestive system disorders, breathing problems, leg sensitivity etc. All these ailments can be the result of dysfunction of the intervertebral disc. It goes without saying that your general health is mainly affected by the health of your back.
