5 things Chiropractor look for are :

What are some habits you can start TODAY that can improve your Back and Shoulder Spinal Hygiene?
1. Limit your phone use to 30 minutes, Take a break from screen time, roll the shoulders and do your neck chin tucks - Check out our neck series in our online programs for exercise ideas
2. Check your sleep routine- make sure you are sleeping on your side on your back only, is your mattress dipping more than the width of your thumb?
3. Check your diet- Limiting sugars and gluten will cause less inflammation in your body
4. Movement is medicine. Are you doing at least 30 minutes of walking a day? This will help loosen up the spine and promote those 3 natural curves to move better. When you're walking, try and roll your shoulders forward and backward to help the joints.
5. Get your monthly check up at your Chiropractor. Only your Chiropractor is trained to look for spinal subluxations that can cause degeneration and poor spinal hygiene.
6. Stop twisting and overreaching.
7. Check your bag, does it weigh more than 10% of your body weight?
