If you are looking for the best care for your back and spine, a local chiropractor may be able to help. You should also know how to get the best benefits from your visits and adjustments. You will get your spine realigned and this can do wonders for alleviating any issues you may be having with back pain. But knowing what to do between visits can help and a local Denver CO Chiropractor can offer some suggestions that you can put into practice each and every day.

Be mindful of your posture and how it affects your spine. Slumping and slouching at the desk or in your chair can strain your neck and back and can also pull the vertebrae of your spine out of alignment.

Sitting with your legs crossed or tucked under you can also strain the muscles of the lower back and lead to spinal issues as well.

You should keep your back as straight as possible with shoulders kept back and your head tilted comfortably. This will help keep you in proper alignment after your adjustments at the chiropractor.

Be careful at the office! This is one of the biggest issues office workers have- spending all day at the computer puts a lot of strain on the entire body but especially the neck and back. Leaning over the keyword, holding your head at an odd angle to see the screen, and holding your hands, and arms in an unnatural position for long periods of time will wreak havoc on the spinal system! Issues such as neck and back pain, arm tightness, numbness, and problems with vision, headaches, and hand pains are very common complaints many CO Chiropractors see.

You should not sit in one position all day but stretch and move through and during the day. You should take a 15 to 30-minute stretch break at intervals. This can help keep back and neck problems from occurring. You can either stand and stretch or sit and stretch your back, arms and legs or go on a quick walking break to stretch your limbs. Take bathroom breaks and water cooler breaks often. These simple things you can do throughout your workday to greatly improve your performance and reduce neck and back issues. This can be true of any activity that causes you to sit for extended periods of time in the same position. You should continue good spinal care practices between appointments and be aware of your spine health every single day.
