Your spine is very important and just as much attention and care should be devoted to it as any other condition, organ or other aspect of the body.
Your spine is probably one of the most important parts of your whole body. It is also usually, one of the most neglected and abused thing in the body. The amount of force and impact that the spine and its vertabrae can endure is substantial.
The spine is an information superhighway and without it there is no way one could move their arms, legs, fingers, or other extremities with ease.
Your brain and body are linked together and communicate with each other via the spine.
Some spinal cord injuries are severe and cause complete immobility and others cause only partial mobility. The most common type of spinal injuries are the ones that cause "apparently insignificant" issues.
Numbness in varying degrees in the extremities can be caused due to a spinal injury. Constant tingling in some zone of the body can also be due to a spinal injury. Spasms are also a system of spinal cord injuries.
It is best, whenever you've experienced a sharp impact like in an autoaccident, to get checked out by a qualified Doctor of Chiropractic. I've seen incidents of a person being rearended in a car accident, having only a small amount of discomfort end up having blinding migraines only a few months after the accident. Risky and costly surgery can be avoided by seeing a doctor immediately.
I rank the spine #1 in priority of all aspects of the body. Without it functioning and maintained properly the quality of life is not ideal.
Small injury? Large injury? Get checked out by your Chiropractor PLEASE!
