When was the last time you had an accident? It could have been tripping, running into something, or falling down the stairs. You may have been one of around three million Americans who are involved in a car accident every year. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries occur all the time.

A healthy back is strong and flexible. It supports the body and allows you to twist, turn, and bend with ease. The low back(lumbar curve) is the back’s foundation. If it damaged, the entire back – and the rest of the body – loses support.

A common cause of pain and/or pins and needles (tingling and numbness) which travels (radiates) from neck and into the arm, hand or fingers is a pinched nerve coming from the neck (cervical spine), these nerves back area give sensation (sensory) and strength (motor) to the upper extremity areas. Usually this nerve which is “pinched” is “pinched” due to a disc injury and/or a malposition (subluxation) of the vertebrae. This can cause pressure or contact with the nerve which causes the nerve to become inflamed (swell).
