A few tips!
We are going to offer you valuable advice to promote the health of your spine. Thus, avoid back pain and disorders with the sciatic nerve.
First, we will look at the lying down position. Did you know that we spend a third of our lives lying down? It is therefore very important to have the right tools to have a good lying position!
First, it takes a good mattress which will support the curves of the spinal column.
It also takes a good pillow to support your cervical curve. A pillow that is too large may cause premature loss. When lying on your side, it is important to have a pillow that correctly fills the space between your neck and shoulder. When it doesn't do this, it causes us to put the arm under the head. When we do this, we can end up with cervical tension, stiffness between the two shoulder blades in the back and shoulder dysfunctions. It is therefore very important to be measured to have the right pillow for our body. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
We recommend that you do not never sleep on your stomach. When you choose this position, it puts a lot of pressure on the upper cervicals. Thus, we end up with stiffness that often creates headaches, torticollis. When sleeping on the stomach, we tend to open our leg and this creates a dysfunction at the level of the joint sacroiliac. This can lead to back pain and disorders with the sciatic nerve quite serious.
In order to maintain our spinal health, we must also ensure that we have movement between segments, hence the importance of having a sufficient dose ofdaily exercises. I advise you to do some stretching after work, such as touching your toes, doing some rotations with your head. All this will help with your flexibility and train the valuable movement of the spine.
The exercises are a bit like the toothbrush for the spinal column. This prevents the vertebrae from sticking together and creating adhesions caused by stress. It also prevents the formation of arthritis. It is also important to have strong enough muscles around the spine to withstand the falls we will unfortunately take. In addition, when we lift heavy objects using the back muscles, the abdominals come to protect us from injury, especially the lower back portion.
