issues will likely become sedentary and overweight, leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and more. Or, the person who can’t participate in everyday activities or interact normally with family and friends may become de- pressed. Any of these scenarios will lead to more immobility, further perpetuating the problem.


3. Your spine can make or break injury protection. Poor spinal health makes a person injury prone. Limited mobility and functionality caused by poor spine health can keep your body from operating efficiently.


• Sudden or delayed movements • Body motions less intuitive and predictable • Balance issues


• Higher likelihood of falls • Poor muscle strength • Reduced range of motion and amount of movement


On the other hand, good spinal health helps a person move


more fluidly and efficiently. Body movements are both predict- able and balanced. And the lack of pain means that muscle strength is likely to be evenly distributed on both sides of your body. This is a body that moves better and is therefore injured less. With proper spinal care, this can be your body!


Your Spine Influences Your Health, So Treat it Well! Because your spine is so critical to your health and wellness,


it’s important to treat it with care. We recommend the following spine health tips that you can


practice on your own: • Wear supportive shoes when walking, running, and exercis- ing.


• Practice good posture: chin up, shoulders back, feet shoulder- width apart.


• If you have a sedentary job, get up every 30 minutes to stretch. • Invest in chairs with lower-back support.


• Sit with your feet flat on the floor and your knees at a 90-de- gree angle.


• Place computer screens at eye level. • Keep your back straight when lifting; bend at your knees.


• “Warm up” before work and play—whether it’s at the gym or in your garden.


• If speaking on the phone for long periods of time, use the speaker or a hands-free device.


• Make sure your pillow allows your neck and head to lay neutral with your spine; don’t sleep on your stomach.
