Sleeping on the back:

Sleeping on the back is the most comfortable position for the spinal health. Some people may find that slight incline reduces the discomfort and pain. If sleeping on the side, the pillow needs to be thin enough for the neck to not be stretched out. Always remember if it’s not comfortable, it’s not a good fit.

Reduce strain from texting:

We often ignore the obvious need of break while texting consequently straining the muscles and disk of the neck. Bring the phone closer to the eye level, sit straight and relax your shoulders.

Stay hydrated:

The disc in our neck is made up mostly water. They are a spongy substance lying between the vertebrae. So hydration is the key and drinking minimum 8 glasses daily will provide us with the necessary hydration.

Evenly distribute Weights:

If your daily routine includes heavy weight lifting, make sure to evenly distribute the said weights. Uneven weight division can lead to uneven shoulders resulting in the stress and strain on the neck.
