What is the T1 of the spine?

The T1 vertebra is the first thoracic vertebra, located at the base of the neck where the cervical spine transitions into the thoracic spine. This area is crucial as it houses nerves that control and influence: Arms and Hands: Nerves from T1 innervate the arms, elbows, hands, and fingers.

What is T1 responsible for?

The functions of your thoracic spine nerves include: T1 and T2 nerves: These nerves go into the top of your chest and into your arms and hands. The T1 nerve is also part of the brachial plexus, a network of nerves in your shoulders that carries movement and sensory signals from your spinal cord to your arms and hands.

What are the symptoms of T1 cord compression?
Symptoms include numbness, pain, weakness, and loss of bowel and bladder control. Depending on the cause of the compression, symptoms may develop suddenly or gradually. They may require anything from supportive care to emergency surgery. If compression becomes severe, a condition called myelopathy may happen.

The 3 T’s of Disease and What to Do About Them

In 1910, D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, stated that there were three underlying causes of subluxation, or nerve interference. He identified them as the 3 T’s: thoughts, trauma and toxins. Today, these 3 T’s continue to wreak havoc on our bodies and contribute to many of the aches, pains and dysfunctions that we experience.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO COMBAT THE 3 T’S
When it comes to health, most people are looking for the quick fix that doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, to create positive long-term changes, there is no magic diet, no easy exercise regimen, and no simple mental cleanse. The idea of being healthy is not complicated. All you need to do is eat well, move often, and think good thoughts. The action is where it becomes hard.
• Eating well takes discipline and planning. It also requires people to cut through trendy, confusing, and often conflicting information about nutrition. Taking a small step in the right direction is a good, sustainable start and can be built upon moving forward.
• Moving often refers to staying active and exercising. Even consistent, brisk walking is a positive place to start for many people. Another aspect of moving is how our body’s physically move. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal movement and overall posture. Chiropractic is not the only aspect of health, but it is essential because I do not know how you can be truly healthy if your nervous system is not functioning at its optimal level.
• Correcting our thoughts is difficult for some people. Often, we may be active and watch what we eat, but we do not always guard what we allow in our heads. We are constantly being bombarded with new information, and it is important to protect our mindset. Activities like mediation, yoga, deep breathing techniques, etc. can be beneficial for us to unplug, de-stress, and re-center our thoughts.

What is the thoracic spine?

Your spine (backbone) is the long, flexible column of bones that protects your spinal cord. It begins at the base of your skull and ends in your tailbone, which is part of your pelvis. Your spine consists of three sections:

Cervical spine (neck).
Thoracic spine (upper and middle back).
Lumbar spine (lower back).

Your thoracic spine is the middle section of your spine. It starts at the base of your neck and ends at the bottom of your ribs. It’s the longest section of your spine. Your thoracic spine consists of 12 vertebrae, labeled T1 through T12.

Vertebrae are the 33 individual, interlocking bones that form your spinal column. These bones help protect your spinal cord from injury while allowing you to twist and turn. Between the vertebral bones are disks that provide cushioning for your vertebrae and flexibility for you.

Your thoracic spine is also surrounded by muscles, nerves, tendons and ligaments that help with movement and flexibility. Your spinal cord runs through the center of your entire spine. It sends and receives messages from your brain, which controls all aspects of your body’s functions.

Who sees a Chiropractor?

More and more people will see a chiropractor, but you may be surprised to know exactly why chiropractic care is becoming so much more popular. A recent study found that about 1 in 4 Americans have visited a chiropractor, and almost 20 million Americans see a chiropractor each year.

Chiropractic care helps improve your health and well-being

Why Chiropractic Care?

Although back and neck pain was the main specific health problem people gave for seeing a chiropractor, almost half of the chiropractic patients said they went for general wellness or disease prevention.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care
So why do so many people go to see a chiropractor?

It’s not just because they get a lot of help if they suffer from pain and other health problems. They go because they want to perform better on the sporting field or athletics track. They want to sleep better; they want to deal with stress better and to be better able to relax. They go because they want to improve their overall health and function at their best.
