At Home Health Tips for a Happy Spine

By Genevieve Cunningham

In order to really and truly stay healthy, it begins at home. If you go to the doctor every week and get test after test, but you live poorly when you get home, your health is going to suffer. This is true for every kind of health … physical, mental, and emotional. As a part of your physical health, it’s important to keep your spine in optimal shape and it’s important to continue that process at home. Take a look at these simple tips for long-term spinal health that all begin with you.

Check Your Bed

The state of your bed could be making or breaking your back. A saggy mattress and unsupportive pillow are two sure-fire ways to create a backache. Check your mattress for spots that sag significantly. If yours has seen better days, it might be time to splurge on a new one. Yes, a new mattress can be expensive, but your back and overall health will thank you for the efforts. On a less expensive note, a good, supportive pillow can help to keep the neck in alignment with the rest of the spine, which can ease pain and tension and keep you feeling well.

Adjust Your Seats

Just as the state of your bed counts, so too does the state of your chairs and couches. Make sure that you have headrests and pillows that allow for support of the neck and back. You should also be careful of your posture while sitting. It feels nice to slouch on the couch, but it will be bad for your back in the long run.

Exercise Every Day

This can be done at home or at the gym. Exercise increases flexibility and strength, which helps to support your spine and keep it healthy. Walking, yoga, weights, and swimming are all excellent activities to keep your back healthier longer.

Get Chiropractic Care

This isn’t technically done at home, but the effects will be seen at home, work, and play. Chiropractors will work specifically on your spine, correcting any misalignments that are present and boosting its overall health. Just add this step into your regular routine, and it’ll be easy to protect your spine and keep yourself healthy and pain-free.
