It is the hub of your nervous system where messages to and from your brain travel to different parts of your body. It is so complex, that it takes years for you to master the ability to stand up straight, walk and run. Misspelled Word Game As we age, it is very common to suffer aches and pains in the lower back, typically because of poor posture and prolonged sitting or previous injuries. However, this is a sign of underlying problems and your spine is telling you something, so listen! Your spine relies on proper posture, alignment, strength and coordination. When any one of these key areas doesn’t work right, strain and stress occurs on different parts of the spine, sparking off inflammation.

Congratulations to: Dennis Ames our July misspelled word winner. He correctly guessed: Mispelled (should have been misspelled) This inflammation irritates nerves and causes pain signals to shoot to the brain. The inflammation further weakens the spinal muscles and even the leg muscles, causing difficulty with everyday activities. Getting up and down from the floor, squatting, standing for long periods and even walking can become a problem. This can really affect your life and the longer the problem persists, the more long-term damage can occur.

At that time I struggled to walk, sit and couldn’t bend over. I couldn’t lift my legs off the table and I was unable to complete most daily activities without pain. After about six weeks of PT, three times per week, I am grateful and relieved to say I am able to do more than I could before surgery. My range of motion, strength and ability to live without pain is a complete success!” — A.C August Word Search BEACH GARNET LIGHTNING POPPY SCHOOL SUMMER SUN THUNDER WARM G S C H O O L A H E I S M A U G H H M O Q V M U I S R C Z R R R E Z N M K K A N V X D J A F H M Y E X E E B H T N W V E B D J T N T H H J M P R Z O F F Y U Y J G I L D C P Z Z N H P N U S X R J Z Z D M B P V A Q C W K C E G F Z O Y B A X D T R L S S P P W T F L G G N I N T H G I L Y G E
