You get ONE spine to last your entire lifetime. Looking after your back before it gives you problems only makes sense. We can help you do that. Here are 10 TIPS:

- Move. Keeping active is KEY to longevity. Sitting has replaced smoking as the #1 health risk.
- Lift properly and protect your back. Being a hero now can cost you later on.
- Practice good posture – daily habits will last a lifetime. Sit and walk TALL.
- Beware of poor ergonomics – laptops and cell phones are terrible for promoting poor posture

- Be aware when things don’t feel right and get them checked out.
- Prevention is cheap compared to treatment. Look after your body like you do your car.
- Find a chiropractor you can work with to keep your spine healthy.
