Top 5 Tips for Improving Spine Health

  • When we talk about spinal health, the first
    thing that comes to our mind is the correct
    posture and physical fitness. These are the basic
    things that you know prevent back and neck pain.
    A good posture ensures that there is no harmful
    strain on your spine and regular exercise keeps
    you fit which again helps relieve or, in fact,
    limit the risk of any damage to the spine. It is
    also important to take regular breaks from our
    computer screens and our phones as sitting
    continuously in positions puts too much stress on
    your spine which leads to different spinal
    problems. It is very commonly observed, that due
    to the negligence of these basic steps have led
    many people to opt for major spine surgery in Los
    Angeles.
  • However, there are some other important tips
    that you should keep in mind for your and your
    familys spine care.

Sleep Correctly
  • Sleeping correctly is as important as
    maintaining a good posture. An essential part of
    our life is spent in sleeping, so sleeping in the
    best possible position is extremely important for
    optimal spine health. It is usually recommended
    by the spine surgeons and physicians in Los
    Angeles to sleep on your side. Sleeping on your
    back is also suggested but people who are very
    heavy in the mid-section or the pregnant women
    should avoid it as it gravitates all the pressure
    towards the spine. Some doctors also advise
    sleeping with a pillow between your knees so that
    your spine and pelvis are in complete alignment.

Say No to Smoking
  • Nicotine is really bad for your back as it
    directly restricts the blood circulation in the
    body. This limits the body to absorb as much
    oxygen as it needs to keep the ligaments and
    muscles healthy. The muscles supporting the spine
    are also affected by the nicotine present in the
    cigarette.

  • Smoking
    also affects the overall health of a human Being
    and has very negative consequences in the case of
    your lungs. If the lungs cannot function
    properly, it will be harder to breathe and in
    turn, it also makes exercising difficult. And
    exercise is essential to maintain a healthy body
    and a healthy spine.

5
Develop Healthy Habits in Children
  • It is important to develop healthy habits in
    the children because what we learn as children
    stay with us until the end of our lives. As far
    as the spine is concerned, our healthy habits can
    lead to a healthier spine and our bad habits can
    damage our spine to a great extent, it is
    important that we focus on teaching our children
    good healthy habits and postures, so that they
    learn to take care of their spine from a very
    young age and prevent many ailments related to
    the spine.

6
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
  • Maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle is
    essential for you. Just taking care of the spine
    is not enough. It is essential that all the
    aspects including nutrition, exercise, mental
    health and spinal health are all related to each
    other. Only then, you will be able to live a
    fruitful life.

7
Improvement in Core Strength
  • Another important tip is to pay attention
    to your core muscles. It is essential to develop
    core muscles because they are a great support for
    your back during activities like walking and
    sitting and they are also essential to sustain
    good posture and prevent back pain. With the
    guidance of your trainer or spine surgeon, you
    can integrate some exercises which help you
    develop your core muscles.
