Taking Care of the Spine

The spine is a column of 33 bones stacked one onto the other to provide main support to the human body. The spinal column allows the body to stand, bend and twist and also protects the spinal cord from any injuries. A healthy spine is in essence required to maintain the correct posture of the body and an injury or disease to the spine can cause pain in the spine. In such cases, it becomes essential to take care of the spine so that the strength and the pliability of the bones of the spinal cord can be maintained.

The following are some of the ways in which the spine can be taken care of and any pain in the spine can be treated:

  • Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a treatment option for back pain or neck pain or any pain in the spine. Acupuncture is being opted for by a large number of patients as a means to reduce pain the spinal cord. Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine and is based on the premise that the human body contains patterns of energy flow that need to be regulated for a healthy human body. In this therapy, needles are inserted in the spine in specific combinations to ensure that the energy in the body flows in the right patterns. It is believed that during acupuncture, specific chemicals are released in the body that affect the paining spine and neck physically as well as psychologically thereby bringing relief to the spine.
  •  Chiropractic: Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses mainly on the spine and its functioning. This treatment option deals with the manipulation of the spine. In other words, it deals with making adjustments to the spine to correct alignment problems which in turn alleviates pain in the spine and improves the functioning of the spine. Chiropractic is advantageous for people with pain in the lower back and neck. This method makes use of hands-on spinal manipulation along with alternative treatment methods to ensure that spine is aligned in the right manner so that the body can heal itself without surgery and medication.
