Tips For A Healthy Life (and Spine) From Your Chiropractor
Avoid sleeping on your stomach – it twists your neck; avoid sleeping in a fetal position – it reverses your spinal curves.
Lose weight if you need to – Losing one pound takes 10 pounds of stress off your lower back.
Quit smoking – smoking decreases blood supply to the discs between the vertebrae, so they degenerate faster. Smokers are more likely to suffer from spinal disorders.
