Healthy Spines Through Smart Sleeping

February 15th, 2012

Spinal health is critical to general physical wellbeing. Like a mast on a ship, the spinal column directs and controls movement. Its stability is vital, and its maintenance is a constant task that needs to be consciously addressed each day. One need not scan medical journals for studies and statistics on the back, the importance of a high-performing spine is known, the task now is to ensure its health.

Many individuals do not have the time or energy to be working on their spine during the course of the day, this is just as well, your best chance at improving spine and back health is to learn to sleep the spine-healthy way.

Well known advice from physicians suggests that humans should give themselves six to eight hours of sleep per night.

Nerves from the spinal cord pass between the vertebrae, and they in turn send thousands of branches to every part of our body. These are the nerves that carry impulses (messages) to the millions of cells throughout the body. In affect they are the lines of communication between the brain and the cells. Spinal health is what we will be discussing. Maintaining a healthy spine for a Chiropractor is the number one priority. First you must get to know your body.

We all have heard the saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This is no more applicable than when dealing with your health. We understand that by taking a proactive approach to health we may reduce injury, disease, and sickness. A popular example practiced by most is dental care. We brush, rinse, floss (yes, we need to floss) and have our periodic check-ups with the dentist. We understand that if we don’t care for our teeth, we will lose them, a simple concept indeed.

We can apply this behavior and use it as a model for other health decisions.
