 Discs separate the movable vertebrae in the spinal column. Each of the twenty-three discs is made of fibrocartilaginous material that is held in place by concentric girdle-like bands that criss-cross diagonally. There are no direct blood vessels to supply oxygen and nutrients to maintain disc health. The less efficient process of osmosis nourishes them. As the discs wear down in height, even the small amount of 1/23 of an inch of wear for each disc will collectively equal a one-inch height loss. With only 1/12 of an inch of wear, one would lose two inches of height. Spinal Mobilization Technique safely and comfortably relaxes tension and increases the spinal motion of the vertebra and discs. Spinal mobilization gently moves each vertebra and disc through its individual range of motion, something that cannot be accomplished though massage, general stretching or yoga techniques. The criss-cross girdle-like bands of the discs are also repeatedly stretched. Some of the many benefits of spinal mobilization are; relief of muscular tension and congestion around the spine, enhancement of the process of osmosis that nourishes the discs, helpful stretching of the girdle bands, and increasing the range of motion of each vertebra/disc complex. All of which result in maintaining a healthier disc structure and minimizing the disc wear that will make a person shorter. Hip joints and knee joints can be replaced as people age. There is no replacement for a person's spine. However people can maximize their spinal health and integrity with Spinal Mobilization Therapy. Questions about Spinal Mobilization Therapy?
