Aging is a natural part of life that comes with changes in the body that can impact your overall well-being which includes changes to the spine. Over time, the spine undergoes wear and tear. Here’s how you can keep your spine in good shape as you age:

• Adopt a Spine-Friendly Diet: Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining strong bones and healthy discs. Ensure that your diet includes plenty of calcium, vitamin D, and other nutrients that promote bone health. 
• Don’t Ignore Back Pain: It’s normal to have back pain from time to time, but severe back pain should not be ignored. Severe back pain can often be a sign of something more serious such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. 
• Prevent Falls: As we age, the risk of falls increases, which can lead to spinal injuries. Strengthening your balance and coordinating through exercises can reduce your risk of falling.
