4 Simple Spine Care Tips for a Healthy Spine
1. Deep belly breathing This is the simplest
and effective exercise that can help improve
spine health in the long run and contribute to
improved posture, especially in children. Take a
deep breath in and out in a way that the belly
moves inward and outward as you inhale and
exhale. For adults practising this for a set
period over a long period can help improve spine
health and reduce pain. Parents are recommended
to foster this deep breathing habits in children
right from childhood to improve spine health.

2. Sleep right and help your spine Sleep is
when your spine de-loads, relaxes and rejuvenates
to get ready for the next day. So it is important
to give maximum rest to your spine by choosing
the right mattress and adopting good sleeping
habits. Spine specialists often recommend the
firm or medium-firm mattress. In addition to
this, it is important to adopt good sleeping
habits that keep the spine naturally aligned.
Back sleepers can place a pillow beneath the
knees, side sleepers can try out a pillow between
the knees to help align the spine and hips
respectively. However, if you are already
suffering from back pain, you are advised to
consult a spine care specialist before making
adjustments.

3. Practice good posture while sitting The
spinal discs in the lower back are loaded more
while sitting than standing which is why spine
care specialists often recommend cutting down
sitting time. However, it is more important to
practice the right posture while we sit as most
of the time is spent sitting no matter how much
we cut it down. Take help from a certified
physiotherapist or spine care specialist to
improve your sitting posture.

4. Exercise While the above three tips help
you protect your spine, exercise is about
strengthening the spine to improve its health and
prevent injuries. While a general full-body
exercise regimen is recommended, core muscles
must be focussed more as they rarely get the
exercise they need, according to Children and
Adult Spinal Surgeon Mr Jwalant S Mehta. Since
exercise when not done with proper form can
trigger new back pain problems, consult a
physiotherapist or specialist to get the right
set of exercises for you with correct form.
