Spine Trivia Time!

Cervical pain typically affects the neck, while lumbar pain is usually felt in the ________.

Your cervical spine sits at the top of your back and supports the weight of your head. Because it’s highly mobile and less protected, neck issues can radiate into the shoulders, arms, and hands.

Your lumbar spine, on the other hand, is built for strength—a set of larger vertebrae that carry most of your body weight. When irritated or injured, lumbar pain may stay in the lower back or radiate into the hips, legs, or feet.

Heart + Bone Health: A Stronger You Starts From Within

Your heart and your bones have more in common than you might think. Both rely on movement, good nutrition, and proactive care to stay strong throughout your life. When you support one, you often support the other.

A few simple habits make a powerful difference:

• Stay active: Weight-bearing exercise strengthens bones and boosts cardiovascular health.
• Fuel wisely: Calcium, vitamin D, and heart-healthy foods work together to keep your body resilient.
• Skip the smoking: It weakens bones and strains your heart.
• Prioritize rest: Quality sleep helps your body repair and rebuild.

At Orthopaedic Associates, we’re here to help you stay active, mobile, and healthy—because strong bones and a strong heart are the foundation of the life you love.
