Follow these tips to avoid injury
        Caring for your spine will help to prevent fatigue, injury and arthritis. The following are tips to help maintain wellness for your spine.

        * When bending over to lift something
          bend at the hips and knees, not the back, hold the object close to you and lift with your legs, while concentrating on keeping your back straight.
        * Don't carry a wallet in your back pocket
          especially when sitting. This tilts your hips and causes the low back muscles to tighten unevenly.
        * Sleeping on your back
          is the most restful position for your body.
        * Always stretch your muscles
          before and after any sports or physical workout to prevent injury and soreness while improving your performance.
        * Have periodic checkups/adjustments
          to maintain a healthy spine. Just as you'd have your teeth checked for cavities and you get your car checked, have your spine checked periodically to insure that it is also healthy!
