then nerves get irritated. The nerves then cause your muscles to tighten up to prevent further damage to the joints or other tissues from further motion. The lack of motion decreases the input from the nerves that tell your brain and spinal cord where your body is during movement. So in reality, spinal problens are really an inupt/output problem. No motion -> no stimulation of nerves ->
Your body is good at covering up small injuries by using other muscles move around the damaged area. That is why your pain goes away and you’re able “keep going”. The problem is when joints don’t move they sort of “rot”. Your nervous system ignores the area and you get degenerative changes that after a short time become permanent. Bottom line: If the joints don’t move they rot. You won’t know whether or not they are moving because your body cheats and uses other muscles to accomplish movement-bad movement.
What are some measures I can take to help my spine?
Walk with proper posture-walking provides stimulation to the all of the nerves at once!
Drink more water. Your discs are thirsty! Discs dry out as we age. You need adequate water intake to make sure the discs maintain an optimal height so they don’t rub on the nerves.
Vary your exercise so you alter the input to your nerves
Lift weights. Lifting weights stimulates your nerves and muscles. When you use your independently to move weights it forces your spine to stabilize. When the spine is forced to stabilize the brain receives more input and further stabilizes the spine.
Do exercises that challenge your ability to balance. Imbalanced input challenges your nerves.

Acupuncture Care
While chiropractic helps restore normal motion to the spinal joints and therefore increases the quality of input to the nervous system, acupuncture adds further stimulation of the nerves that are typically further away from the spinal joints. Your nervous system is at a basic level an input /output system. Good quality input lead to good quality output. Bad input leads to bad output. Acupuncture can be used as a stand alone for many conditions. We have had great success with sciatic pain, headaches, sinus pain, neck pain, etc. However, many conditions respond better when acupuncture is used in conjunction with chiropractic care. The input to the nervous system is optimized when the spine is functioning at the highest level. In simple terms, when the spinal joints are moving properly there is less interference with the signals getting through to change the way the nervous system is functioning. After, the nerve system controls every cell in your body. Nerves function better the more quality input they receive. Acupuncture stimulates the nerves and helps reduce negative inputs to the nervous system. Thereby restoring normal function.
