Lifestyle Changes to Keep the Spine Healthy

By Genevieve Cunningham

When it comes to keeping any part of the body healthy, it’s all in your choices. The lifestyle that we lead makes a huge impact on day-to-day health. If nine hours of TV, fast food, and minimal movement are a part of everyday life, we can’t expect the best health. And when it comes to the back, the choices that we make are especially important. If back pain is a struggle, take a look at these simple lifestyle changes that can be made to enhance spinal health for the long haul.

Get More Sleep and More Exercise

These are staples of good health, and the spine is definitely no exception. Sleep allows the body to rest and rejuvenate, while exercise helps to keep the body strong and flexible. To get more sleep, set a bedtime, eliminate distractions, and crank down the temperature. To get more exercise, it’s all about willpower. Make a specific time of day the time for working out, and don’t deviate unless you absolutely must.

Take Life Outdoors

In the Charlotte area, this should be relatively easy. Though cold winds blow in from time to time, most of the time the temperature is pleasant, which makes outdoor activities easier. So what does taking life outdoors look like? It’s active! It doesn’t have to literally be camping or boating or hiking … it’s just a way of saying that life should be more than work, TV, smart phones, and video games. Even outside of exercise, life should be in motion. It should be active and engaging and the body should be active every day. This helps to keep the back flexible, strong, and healthier as a whole, which leaves little room for pain or stiffness.

Make Care a Habit Instead of a Chore

Most people consider getting any sort of health care a chore. We tend to wait until the last possible moment, and then we rush to the doctor for a quick fix. One simple change that every person can make to enhance health is to make care more of a habit than an inconvenience. Being proactive is crucial. In the case of the back, this would mean adding regular trips to the chiropractor into the routine. Chiropractors can help to keep restriction out of the spine, promote healthy function, and keep the spine and the body in a much healthier state.
