Keep your Back Healthy!

Beverly Hills Spine Surgery

Exercise Regularly

Exercises that strengthen your neck and upper back, lower back, & core muscles, will improve spine health.

Eat Healthy

Consume lean proteins, vegetables & healthy fats

Sleep Well

Upgrade your mattress if it is no longer firm & make sure your pillow is adequately supporting your neck.

Stretch at Work

If you spend a great deal of time at a desk be sure to stretch your chest and shoulders.

Lift Properly

Don’t forget to breathe as you lift, & make sure you are well balanced. If something is too heavy, ask someone for help.

Stand More

Stand up and stretch and go for a short walk once per hour.

Stress Less

Stress impacts not only your mind but also your back; try meditation.

Lower your Heels

Heels can throw off your spinal alignment. Alternate between high & low heels & even more supportive shoes, during the week

Stop Smoking

Smokers are 3 times more likely to have chronic back pain than non-smokers. Smoking may also hasten degeneration in the lower spine.
