How is your spine like a toy snake?

Subby and Flow 600 x 600)The other day I was walking through China Town when I saw these toy snakes on display.  After playing with them for a while I realized how much their movement resembled our spine. 

Your spine is a machine made up of 24 moveable bones that interact with one another to serve as the foundation for bodily movement as well as to protect our spinal cord. 

Our spines were made for movement not stability.  A properly moving spine should move like the free flowing toy snake I have affectionately named Flow.  When everything is moving well the spine and the muscles moves efficiently and the nerves connect with the body properly.   

Our spines are subject to many different stresses (gravity, posture, accidents, footwear etc.) which cause restrictions to the proper alignment and mobility of the spine.  When these bones are jammed up, the movement of the spine becomes less efficient placing additional stress on the system.  If left over time the wear and tear of this stress accumulates and results in degenerative conditions including: arthritis, disc thinning, nerve damage  and chronic recurrent aches/pains/numbness. The snake with the tape restricting it’s motion is an example of a spine with restrictions, know as subluxations.  I refer to this snake as Subby.

The focus of chiropractic is to locate these restrictions in your spine and restore mobility in these areas to minimize the deterioration of your bones, muscles and nerves.  Chiropractors are the only profession trained to locate and treat subluxations.  The next time you feel a kink in your back remember this metaphor of the toy snakes.   In order to keep your spine moving like Flow, be sure to visit your chiropractor to treat your Subby backbone.

  1. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research on this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.

    • I’m so happy you found it valuable. I also like the metaphor that an untreated spine is like a rusted bicycle chain. You have to break the rust and lubricate the chain (i.e. the spine) to make it function more efficiently. Hope that helps too.
