- 1. Exercise Regularly
This does not have to be anything overly strenuous. Something as simple as a daily walk can make a huge difference.
- 2. Eat A Healthy Diet
Proper nutrients allow the body to repair itself easier
- 3. Maintain Good Posture
Are you sitting up straight as you read this?
- 4. Stretch Your Spine Before And After Sports
This will also help to loosen up the surrounding muscles.
- 5. Don’t Overload Your Backpack Or Purse
Remember to carry it over both shoulders to balance the load (if possible).
- 6. Stretch
Your Legs And Back After Each Hour Of Sitting. Whether in a car or at a desk, stretching regularly will help to keep you from tightening up or injuring yourself further.
- 7. Never Cradle The Phone Between Your Neck And Shoulder
- 8. Sleep On Your back Or Side, Not On Your Stomach
This helps to keep your spine in line and reduces the risk of hurting your neck while you sleep.
- 9. Invest In A Good Chair, Pillow And Mattress
When you think about the amount of time you use these things each day, it’s worth it.
- 10. Have Regular Spinal Check-Ups
It’s much easier to prevent a problem than to correct one.
