The Body's Shock Absorbers
Just as your car needs shock absorbers to keep it running properly, your body also has shock absorbers. As you move, the discs (or "shock absorbers) of your body and spine work with the natural curves of your spine to reduce pressure and stress. These discs separate each vertebra, and form the needed spacing for your nerves to exit your spinal cord, which is what allows them to keep your body tissue and organs healthy. The annulus, or rings of fibrous tissue, are filled with a soft jelly center. You need these to be healthy and aligned to keep your body on track.
