Ways To Take Care Of Your Spine

-- --

Always stand as erect as possible, with your shoulders, back and your head centered directly over the spine.
    Try to sit in the same manner, erect with head over the spine. Do not sit with your legs crossed, except at the ankles.
    When you lift try to bend from your knees and not from your back, keeping your back straight at all times. Hold the weight close to your body as you carry it (you can watch my previous video post : How to Lift Properly to Reduce Back Injuries for more information on this).
    You must have a good firm mattress to sleep on with no lumps or sags, as one third of your life is spent in bed.
    Never sleep on your stomach. Sleep on your back or side instead. When on your back, lie flat with a pillow under your head and neck and a pillow under your knees. Do not sleep with more than one pillow under your head. Your neck should not be pushed up so that your chin moves down toward your chest. A pillow should support your neck according to its natural curve, allowing your head to rest in a neutral position.
    When you sleep on your side, support your head and neck so your spine will remain in a straight line as you are viewed from the front. Your legs should be at a 30 to 45 degree angle and not drawn up in a knot. You may feel more comfortable with a pillow between your knees to keep your pelvis from being tilted.
    Do not use a regular foam pillow. A shaped cervical pillow or a feather pillow is best.
    Do not rest on a couch with your head propped on the arm rest.
    No reading in bed, neither propped on your elbows, nor lying flat.
    In ordinary cases, Do not lift over 50 pounds.
Remember, your spine is the central support structure of your body. You must respect this structure so that it will give you strong, flexible service for a long time to come.

Your spine also carries your neurological lifeline from the brain to all the other parts of your body. The functional health of your body depends on the flow of an unrestricted nervous system. When your spine suffers, your overall health can suffer too.
