2. Dont Crack Your Neck
Cracking your neck can do more harm than good if
you do it incorrectly or too frequently.  This
permanent damage is called perpetual instability,
which puts you more at risk to develop
osteoarthritis down the road.

The ice can reduce swelling and inflammation,
whereas heat therapy can increase your pain from
a new injury. Cold slows blood flow, while heat
stimulates it. which can somewhat mask the
sensation of pain.

4. Bend At The Knees, Not At The Waist
If your load-bearing joints are stacked and
functioning properly, bending at the waist wont
do any harm if you do it sparingly. Its better
to be safe than sorry and practice good lifting
and bending techniques.

Exercise and a healthy diet boil down to eating
foods that fuel your body and maintaining a
healthy weight. Fortunately, 30 minutes of
exercise can be achieved without an expensive gym
membership in a number of ways, such as going for
a walk around your neighborhood.

6. Dont Sleep On Your Stomach
Sleeping positions are hard to manage since
youre asleep and may be moving around
unconsciously. A simple trick is to fall asleep
with good posture and hope to avoid restless
squirming since your body will be aligned and
comfortable.

7. Dont Wait To See A Neck And Back Pain Doctor
Many minor injuries can occur without notice and
not make themselves apparent for quite some
time. Lack of pain or symptoms does not equate to
lack of injury.
