The Spine and You

The spine is one of the most important and complex parts of the body. It provides you with strength and flexibility to ensure your body is kept upright and can move around freely. It is also responsible for protecting your spinal cord, which houses millions of nerves connecting your brain to the rest of your body.

Your spine is vital for ensuring you are able to lead an active, pain-free life. However, your spine can be susceptible to harm through various types of injury. If you have sustained a spinal injury, it will most likely impact your ability to move and perform bodily functions, depending on which part of the spine you have damaged.

The pages below will help you understand how the spine works and what happens when you damage certain parts of it:
