Breaking five bad habits

KENTWOOD, Mich. (WOOD) - In a lot of ways we abuse our bodies every day and that can leave us in pain.  From the shoes you wear to the way you sit at your desk, our Ask The Expert in relieving back and neck pain is Dr. Christopher Miller of Total Health Chiropractic and he shares the five everyday habits that make you ache and what you can do to relieve the pain.  When you are sitting at your desk and staring at a computer screen all day, fight the strain three ways:  Don't slump over.  Take regular breaks.  Move around and stretch.  If walking in high heels has you seeking relief, it's likely because heels interrupt the regular curve of your spine.  To counter this, try to limit walking long distances in heels and bring along flats to switch into.  Your purse could also be a back breaker.  Lighten it up by limiting what you carry with you everywhere.  Alternate which side you carry it on to spread the weight evenly.  When little children start weighing on you, be sure to practice proper lifting techniques by bending at the knees, not the waist.  Back trouble doesn't only develop while you're awake.  Practice safe sleeping habits by alternating sides to prevent soreness in one side of your neck and make an investment in a neck pillow.  Call Dr. Miller today and take advantage of the $39 neck and back pain new patient special which includes a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Miller and an examination.   As a special bonus, the first eight callers today will receive a $25 Macy's gift card
