The spinal column is one of the most important parts of our body. Without a spinal column, we can’t make our movements and we can’t stand right up. The spinal column gives our body support, protects the spinal cord and makes sure we can make our movements. Through certain nerves in our spinal cord, information is transported to the brain and the subconscious brain. You understand it’s very important to keep our spinal column healthy.

The spinal column is built of conjoined vertebrae. 7 cervical vertebrae (cervical curve), 12 thoracic vertebrae (thoracic curve), 5 lumbar vertebrae (lumbar curve) , 1 sacrum and coccygeal vertebrae (together the sacral curve).
