West Des Moines HEALTHY SPINE TIPS FOR DAILY LIVING

Cultivating a healthy spine entails being sensible while performing activities of daily living. When texting (and Executive Chiropractic of Iowa knows our West Des Moines chiropractic clients and their families do this all the time!), Executive Chiropractic of Iowa recommends that you read through text with your eyes and/or lift your cellphone to eye level so you do not over extend your neck.

Careful while texting to not bend your neck too much!

When lifting boxes, use your legs so as to protect your back muscles from injury. 

Executive Chiropractic of Iowa advises lifting with your legs.

When sitting, keep your knees even with your hips, and sit as upright as possible to avoid slouching.

West Des Moines chiropractic patients know to sit up straight!
 
When sleeping, go to sleep on your back with a pillow under the knees to decrease the pressure on your spine.

Executive Chiropractic of Iowa recommends putting a pillow under your knees when sleeping on your back.

When standing, keep your head straight with your ears above your shoulders to keep a straight, vertical spine.

Executive Chiropractic of Iowa recommends standing up straight.
