Fun Fact Friday: Dog spine facts

A dog’s spine consists of about 50 individual vertebrae divided into 5 distinct regions: 7 cervical (neck), 13 thoracic (mid-back/chest), 7 lumbar (lower back), 3 fused sacral, and a variable number of caudal (tail) vertebrae.

The spine acts as a bridge, transmitting the intense power generated by a dog's hind legs through the rest of the body for fast sprinting.

Caudal (Tail): Contains a variable number of vertebrae (usually between 6 and 23) depending on the breed and tail length.

Fun Fact Friday Fish Edition:

This is a Dojo Loach
The spinal column is entirely adapted for aquatic locomotion (swimming) and burrowing. It allows for smooth, continuous whip-like movements.

The Dojo Loach relies on a highly flexible, unconstricted notochord and separate vertebrae that allow for side-to-side (lateral) undulation. They do not have the complex intervertebral discs humans have.

Want to swim like a fish this summer or maybe burrow in the sand? Give us a call at 219-962-8128 Monday-Friday To get your appointment scheduled!

Minor aches can worsen over time, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept them. There are numerous types of treatment available. Discomfort may spread throughout the body if the spine and other joints do not move as smoothly as they should. Your workouts may become more challenging due to decreased mobility and flexibility. Adjustments to the spine and other joints using Chiropractic are made to restore the body’s natural alignment and promote better overall health.

Fun Fact Friday:
A cat's spine is a marvel of evolutionary engineering, featuring 52 to 53 highly mobile vertebrae. This incredible flexibility bolstered by elastic discs and a lack of rigid collarbones. This allows cats to rotate their bodies 180 degrees, jump up to six times their height, and squeeze through impossibly tight spaces.

Keep your movements cat like with regular adjustments. Call us today and schedule your appointment! 219-962-8128

Water does more than quench your thirst. It plays a vital role in keeping your body functioning at its best, including your spine. Your spine relies on proper hydration to keep its discs flexible, absorb shock, and support movement.

Adding flavor does not take away the hydrating properties of water. If adding a splash of citrus, cucumber, or an enhancer helps you drink more fluids, it remains an excellent way to keep your body healthy and well-hydrated.

Keep up with your spine health and schedule your appointment today! 219-962-8128
