When your dentist tells you to improve your oral hygiene, you know you need to brush and floss your teeth more often. This is important because teeth are bones, and if you do not take care of them, over time they break down and decay. This information is well established in research studies and has become common knowledge.
When your Chiropractor tells you to improve your spinal hygiene, what do you need to do? Although there is plenty of research on the effects of good posture on overall health, the tools we need to improve spinal hygiene are not common knowledge.
This fact was the basis for the creation of the Straighten Up America initiative to educate the masses about spinal hygiene. The premise is simple, if you take care of your spine as much as you take care of your teeth, you will be much healthier throughout your life. The best way to maintain good spinal hygiene is to keep it moving, and to work against the posture that results from all the time we spend on computers, phones and watching television.
