On measures to prevent diseases of the spine chiropractor says Anatoly Sitel.



How do I work at a desk


With extensive exercises at the desk should sit straight without tilting your head forward and your upper body, so as not to strain your muscles. The height of the chair should be adjusted so that the seat was at the level of the knee. The back of the thigh should be only lightly press on the edge of a chair. If the pressure is too large, will soon become uncomfortable to sit, in addition, impede blood circulation in lower legs. To reduce pressure on the back of the femur fits a footstool, in addition, the legs will be comfortable support.
Do you know how to stand?


The person feels tired in the back, shoulder girdle and neck, when it comes to stand for long. For prevention to be from time to time, pulling your hands up, bend back and take a deep breath. When pandiculation decreases fatigue and feel energized. If you are working "on your feet" is recommended to change the position not less than every 10 minutes. Try to draw it to one, then another leg to the body weight, they accounted for turns. Be sure to change the position of the feet: walk on the ground, stepping on the toes with heels.
Homework


When washing dishes, and the slope of the floor must be carried out not by the waist and through the bend in the knee joints. Please Note: The load on the lumbar spine increased by 20 times when bent back. So it is better to wipe the floor on all fours, as did our grandmothers. If hanging over the sink cupboard, you can lean your head to it. When working with a vacuum cleaner should be used rather long tube, so as not to bend over. Sweeping dirt under furniture and other hard to reach places, it is better to stand on one knee than bending. Zastilaya bed, instead of leaning forward, it is better to fall on his knee: it reduces the load on the spine. Picking up something heavy, try to lean his arm on a chair or table, so as not to overload the spine.
When the weight is not in the severity of


Heavy burden should be divided into parts as possible, picking up that you can not overload the spine. The load is better to keep both hands, and as close as possible to itself - in this case, the load on the spine is the most insignificant. Picking up something heavy, you should bend the legs at the knee joints, and not the back. If you need to move heavy objects over long distances appropriate to wear them on their backs, for example, in a backpack, but not in the hands or in a bag over his shoulder. This method provides a uniform distribution of load on the spine.
Behind the wheel of a car


Driving a car is important to take a comfortable position to spin in place of the bend was a good footing.Sitting should be upright, slightly more often try to change the position and tilt the head forward. For a long attention span can sometimes fail to notice the weak signals of pain, fatigue and discomfort, warning of the need to change the pose. It is therefore advisable when traveling in a car over long distances regularly go out and move. As prevention is useful to take a few deep breaths and relax the muscles of the neck and shoulder girdle. You can tilt your head forward and turn it left and right several times.
Sleep properly


Need to sleep on the bed, semi-soft, soft side must be at least 15 cm thick. Head during sleep should be a rectangular pillow so that his shoulder was lying on the bed and pillow occupied the space between the shoulder and head. If you sleep on your side, the head should be parallel to the bed. In no case can not sleep on rollers, it leads to a lateral tilt of the head, to compression of neurovascular bundle and the vertebral artery can cause stroke and heart attack. Reading, lying down, try not to bend the neck much better to get in bed, half-sitting, so that the load on the cervical vertebrae was minimal.
Exercise


To avoid problems with the spine, is more useful to engage in athletic walking than running, because running causes severe concussion of the body. In each step there is a running phase of flight, when both feet off the ground and the body as it floats in the air. When a leg lands, accounting for the load to be five times the body weight. If you weigh 75 kg, the load on the foot when it lands will be 375 kg. With every step you "plunk down" up your spine, as if stretching the bellows, straining tendons, muscles, and a huge burden falls on the knee joints. A very useful kind of sport - swimming. But shaping can lead to osteochondrosis. Almost every woman after 30 years in the spine are abnormal changes, and non-regulated exercise, strengthening them, can bring no benefit and harm. There is a movement, such as rotation, which simply antifiziologichny in nature and lead to the fact that the intervertebral disc begins to twist and burst.So before you decide to improve your figure, you need to refer to the chiropractor. Enough, depending on the physiological curves of the spine particular person, excluding any exercise, and injury from these activities will not be. The ancient Greeks said: "The pain - a watchdog for your health", a kind of SOS for the human body. So listen to yourself. If you have a pain in the head, heart or spine, we must try to remove it early - to change the position of the body, take a walk, do exercise physiotherapy. If there was pain in the arm, leg, back, if you feel any discomfort after exercise - it says that the first clinical signs of osteochondrosis. Need to take timely action, otherwise the pain will cause a range of changes in the body, which will require serious treatment.
