3 Tips To Avoid Common OBX Pains

Dr. Titus talks about everyday situations that can damage your spine and how to prevent common back and neck pains.

1. Alternate your carrying shoulders

Alternate the shoulder with which you carry your purse, luggage, briefcase, golf clubs, etc...

Constantly using the same side causes postural muscles on one side of the body to be overdeloped. This leads to imbalances in the spine that cause a variety of upper back and neck problems.

2. Don't sleep on your stomach

Stomach sleeping causes excessive arching in the low back and forces you to sleep with your head rotated.

This eventually creates problems in the neck and low back.

3. Raise that computer screen!

Many people nowadays sit in front of their computer for several hours per day.

If the screen is too low, as it usually is, it will cause you to look down and pull your head forward.

This causes stress on the muscles and ligaments in the neck and upper back, over time, causing a variety of spinal problems.
