Improving Your Posture And Other Daily Habits Can Go A Long Way In Avoiding Back Pain!
In our previous post we talked about the importance of Preventive Care to Avoid Back Pain and how Chiropractic can help you out. Today we want to go even further and give you vital information and tips for you to include in your daily life, that will help you accomplish the preventative practices we are talking about.Good posture is the quickest, easiest way to prevent spine injuries and subluxations. Plus, it will make you look better, taller and thinner in your favorite swimsuit, which is also a good tip for Spring and Summer outdoor activities! You can achieve good posture by keeping your back straight, your shoulders back, and distribute your weight evenly on both hips.
More Tips You Can Use Together With Good Posture And Regular Chiropractic Care
- Maintain a healthy diet and ideal weight
- Avoid prolonged inactivity or bed rest, try to exercise at least 30 minutes every day
- Warm up and stretch before exercising or doing other physical activities
- Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes
- Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to minimize curves in your spine
- When lifting heavy items, do it with your knees and keep the object close to your body. Do not twist when lifting
- Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal tissues.
- Quitting is the best thing you can do for your general health.
- Work with Dr. Terry to ensure your workstation is ergonomically correct!
