Preserve Your Back Health While on the Clock
Most people work approximately one third of their life. Crazy, huh? That’s a lot of time at work. It’s also a lot of stress, sitting, and usually...back pain. In order to keep your back healthy and strong, you have to pay attention to its health while at work. Since so much time is spent there, it’s imperative to keep it healthy on the clock. Check out these tips for keeping your spine in great shape on the clock and off.
Move Often
Work can often be sedentary. We might sit all day or some might stand all day. Try to get moving in order to keep your body healthy. Make moments or sit or stand or walk or stretch. This will allow your body to work out the kinks all day long instead of trying to compensate at the end of the day. This can really give your spinal health a big boost.
Wear Supportive Shoes
Your shoes can make or break the health of your back. If you wear heels all day or similar shoes with little support, you have to stop! Get a supportive and comfortable pair in order to preserve the health of your feet and your back.
Stretch Daily
You really can’t emphasize enough the importance of stretching. It keeps your joints loose and limber and your muscles elongated. It can also help to eliminate pains that are already present and prevent pains from coming back. To stretch while on the clock, just use your breaks wisely. Stretch in the morning, at each break, and then before bed. Even though it won’t seem like much, it will go a long way in protecting your back.
Chiropractic Care
Another great way to protect your back and keep it in great health is to get chiropractic care. Chiropractors can often keep the spine in proper alignment, which can lead to a healthier and pain free spine. When the spine is out of alignment, many negative side effects occur, like pain, immobility, and similar symptoms. Getting and keeping it in line is one of the best ways to keep it pain free and mobile.
