Spinal Tips You Might Not Have Known

 The spine is, without a doubt, one of the most significant structures in the body. It provides support for the body, aids in walking, and even assists with simple acts such as sitting up in bed, which is why it is critical that we take good care of our spines. As is common with spinal injuries, the spine is one of the most delicate parts of the body, and even a little accident or damage can leave a person with chronic pain and movement limitations for the rest of their lives. So, in order to help you in taking proper care of your back, we've come up with an outline on spinal information that you may use to help yourself.

Exercising helps.

Many people avoid physical activity because it is time consuming and, at times, unpleasant. Failing to exercise frequently, on the other hand, can and will deteriorate the joints at the base of your spine, increasing the likelihood of discs slipping out of place. Follow a proper exercise regimen, and be sure to perform some simple back exercises on a daily basis to keep your back in peak condition.


Of course, what is exercise if one does not also eat healthy most of the time? Switching  to a healthier diet will help you lose weight and get more exercise, not to mention the other various health benefits that come with it!


Understand why you’re in pain...so that you can implement the appropriate treatment. 

Back discomfort can originate from a variety of sources, including:

Being obese. Your spine can only withstand a certain amount of strain, and if you're placing more pressure on it than it can manage, you'll have discomfort. Consider dropping some weight to help alleviate your back pain and, of course, to reap the many other health benefits that come with it.

  1. A car crash. Even if the collision you were involved in seemed to be minor, as previously said, the spine is sensitive, and yours may have been compromised as a result. In some cases people experience Spondylolisthesis when the vertebrae is pushed out of its natural position. If you believe that a car accident is the source of your back discomfort, it's critical that you educate yourself on the rules surrounding car accidents and how to approach a case like this.

  2. Joint discomfort can be caused by medical illnesses such as psoriatic arthritis, which can affect your entire body, including your back. The sooner you see your doctor, the better your chances of getting a proper course of therapy. If you have any medical issues that could be contributing to your pain, you should see your doctor as soon as possible.

  3. A simple injury that can be produced by lifting or twisting something that is either too heavy or too suddenly. Visit your doctor or a physiotherapist if you're experiencing persistent back discomfort as a result of this.

  4. Naturally, there are numerous other reasons why you can be having back pain, but these are the most prevalent ones that you should be on the lookout for.


Your mattress may be the source of your back pain.

Your mattress could be the source of or at the very least a contributing factor to your back troubles. You might be wondering how you can really manage to harm your spine while you're sleeping. You should replace your mattress at least once every eight years, according to industry standards. Think about switching out your mattress because it will improve your quality of sleep and reduce your risk of developing back problems.


Modify your posture

Without even realizing it, many individuals slouch when they are sitting or standing, and this can result in major injury to the spine. The pain you're experiencing may be due to an imbalance in your posture, so check it out! Back supports for your workplace chair are available to purchase, and they might benefit you in changing the way you sit. Standing appropriately and not putting extra weight on your back can also be obtained by applying certain techniques.


Remember to rest.

Finally, and maybe most importantly, remember to take time to rest! Our backs are subjected to a lot of stress every day without us even realizing it! Your back will thank you if you get enough sleep so that it can recuperate from stress and strain!

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
