How to Align Your Spine
- Stand up tall.
- Position the ears over the middle of the shoulders.
- Tuck the chin in.
- Hold the shoulders back in a position that does not force the chest out.
- Keep the back straight but not tense.
- Keep the hips aligned with the rest of the body and not tilted forward or back.
Can a spine be straightened?
Spinal straightening is considered a complex spinal reconstruction surgery because it involves a major portion of the spine. The name might be a bit of a misnomer though: the goal of spinal straightening is to make sure the curve doesn't get worse, but surgery does not perfectly straighten the spine.
How do you sit backbone straight?
Here are some pointers and reminders for good sitting posture:
- Keep your back pressed up against the chair, with your lower back all the way to the chair crease.
- Make sure your weight is distributed evenly and you're not leaning or slouching to one side.
- Keep your feet flat on the floor and avoid crossing your legs.
