Why break if you can bend?
Aligning + mobilizing your spine properly is a commitment that fosters comfort, strength, and flexibility for the life-long course of your physical movement journey.
Your spine, that precious column of elegantly articulating vertebral bones, is here to keep you aligned throughout your many endeavors of physical movement ~ from performance arts to competitive sports to earth wanderings and every little thing in between.
This incredibly complex spine of yours is also a primary component of your Central Nervous System ~ alongside your brain. Beside bones, your spine is composed of nerves, nerve roots, discs, ligaments, tendons, and fluid.
The nerves which run through and are protected by the spinal column send all the signals between brain + body that make physical movement possible.
This statement is actually a trick to remember the letters “I. L. S.” in that order. This denotes the 3 major erector spinae muscles that run the entire length of the spine.
“Iliocostalis, Longissimus, and Spinalis” is the order of these long muscle bands as they move medially, from the inner edge of the scapula then toward the spine itself.
These are significant to Acupuncture as they follow two branches of the UB Channel and frame the central Du channel. Stimulating these channels serves as a direct pathway for accessing all the spinal nerves which exit through roots in each vertebrae, as well as for accessing all internal organs in the body.
Acupuncture therapy, especially when paired with manual myofascial massage (included in each Acupuncture appointment) + chiropractic work, is a powerful medicine to honor your entire spinal column with.
If you are experiencing pain or misalignment at any level of the spine ~ upper/cervical, mid/thoracic, or low/lumbo-sacral ~ Acupuncture has points of direct access available to help you.
(And if this is compounded by the radiating nerve pain of Sciatica that may travel into the glutes and eventually all the way down the leg, Acupuncture has quite a specialty in resolving this!)
Come re-discover the way you move through this life. With a re-aligned + re-mobilized spine, hopefully you find yourself showing up with a smile on your face, dancing shoes on your feet, and peak performance levels under your belt.
