The human spine consists of 24 moveable vertebrae with padded-like discs positioned in between. The vertebrae attach to each other with ligaments but allow for movements in all direction. Each vertebra comprises part of a kinetic chain with three primary purposes. The first purpose holds a person up straight and forms the foundation for good posture. The second purpose allows for movement and the absorption of compressive forces. The third purpose protects and directs nerve function.

A spinal segment which is not aligned or moving appropriately will degenerate. A study published in 2007 evaluated the spines of mice when metal links were implanted onto a series of spinal bones to prevent specific vertebral movement. The results were more remarkable than the researchers had anticipated. Immobility in the spine produced significant decay and degeneration. After 1-4 weeks of decreased movement in a spinal vertebra, surfaces of the bone and discs began to degenerate. After 4-8 weeks of reduced spinal bone mobility, bone spurs began to form at the edges of the immobile vertebrae. The most important finding of this research revealed that if movement was not restored in the first 1-4 week time frame, irreversible degeneration occurred.
