At the Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Mataró, we believe in the importance of maintaining a healthy back. Here are three essential habits for taking care of your spine and improving your natural health.
3 Habits for a Healthy Back
Are your bad habits to blame for your back pain? Incorporate these three tips into your daily life to keep your back healthy for years to come.
- Maintain good posture: Just as we look both ways before crossing the street—something we were taught at an early age—maintaining proper posture is also something we must learn and teach from a very young age. Good posture reduces stress on the muscles and ligaments that support the spine.
- Choose your entertainment and sports wisely: Some popular sports and activities have been aptly dubbed «disc risks.» While we’re not trying to stop you from having fun, we just want you to be aware of how activities such as roller coasters, water sports, and high-impact sports involving bouncing can affect the spinal cord’s protective covering.
- Spend more time standing than sitting: Let's be honest—most of us spend a lot of time sitting. We sit at home, at work, and even during social events. The best way to help your spine stay healthy is to stay active and walk every hour.
Easy and fast—that's how you develop a new habit for a healthy back. Marc Bony, DC
