New year, new spine! The new year brings the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. Here are some practical resolutions for a healthier back for the new year:

• Fix Your Posture: Poor posture is one of the most common factors of back pain. Now’s the time to fix your posture. Practice sitting upright with your shoulders relaxed with your feet firmly on the ground. 
• Make Daily Exercise Non-Negotiable: Regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your spine. Moving daily helps to keep your back muscles strong, supports your posture, and improves flexibility. 
• Consult a Professional When Needed: If you’re dealing with chronic back pain, consider consulting a professional to assess your spine health and create a customized plan for helping you.
