Your Amazing Incredible Neck

Your Amazing Incredible Neck…

Your neck is packed with all kinds of things: bones nerves, blood vessels, glands, voice box, esophagus, trachea, discs, connective tissue, muscles, ligaments, tendons and other structures. Your amazing, incredible neck balances your heavy head as it turns, tilts and twists without damaging it’s vital occupants.  You have 7 neck bones and they are numbered C-1 to C-7 from top to bottom. Your top cervical vertebrae C-1 has a special name- the atlas-it balances a globe, your skull. The next one is C-2 it also has a special name- the axis- because it permits your neck to move in many directions. All of your vertebrae work together to balance your head and protect your spinal cord, an extension of your brain that lies in your neck. This protection is extremely important because a spinal cord injury can result in paralysis or death.  So if you have headaches, neck pains you write off as sleeping wrong, stress, etc. It’s so easy to just take a pill to mask the pain for it only to show up 4 hrs later, rather than taking a few minutes and seeing one of the awesome doctors of Total Health Chiropractic and fix the problem.
