Your spine is designed to protect your spinal
cord, which is the crucial pathway from your brain to the
rest of your body. The spine is made up of vertebrae, which
are movable to allow flexibility. Due to a variety of factors
the vertebrae can become misaligned, which can in turn irritate,
pinch or stretch the nerves as they exit from the spinal cord.
This can result in pain, numbness, burning or tingling in
your back or in other parts of your body.
