It relieves tension and stress, strengthening your immune system. This is a common belief for many people. Your spine is designed in a special way. Any abnormal spinal function can be easily caused from physical trauma, chemical toxins, or even emotional stress of your daily life. These affect the tissues of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Many people associate a pinched nerve with the spine, when in fact it is actually rare.
This gives many a burning or numbness feeling of the spine. More often, nerves are irritated not pinched. Irritation is a result of a scraped, rubbed, or stretched nerve tissue or a malfunction of spinal bones. Between the spinal bones lays a disc of cartilage-type material. Each disc serves as a connector, spacer and shock absorber for the spine.
