The Function of Your Spine
Your spinal cord and your brain are your body’s central nervous system. You can think of it as your brain being your command center and your spinal cord is the highway for messages to be sent by your brain to your body and vice versa. It also keeps you upright and connects the different parts of your skeleton to each other. It also enables you to bend and twist into various positions while providing protection to the spinal cord and spinal nerves.
Your central nervous system helps control your motor functions (voluntary muscle movements), sensory functions (sensations of touch, pressure, temperature and pain) autonomic functions (digestion, urination, body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure).
When Your Spine Is Not Functioning Well
If you have a spinal cord injury or dysfunction it can interfere with a wide range of functions, and it does not have the ability to heal itself. An injury may compromise your ability to walk, breathe or use the restroom without some sort of assistance. Your reflexes may also be compromised, depending on the location of your injury. This can cause further injuries to occur.
