Then you can find out how the operation is going and what it can give us, and the direction of further rehabilitation. The problem with the spine is influenced not only by the physical sphere, but also by long-term stress and the ability to discharge it. Work - do you do it while sitting or standing? How do you rest during your break to relax your tense muscles? What is important is what we eat - because the overweight puts a significant strain on the spine and leads to further degeneration. So let's eat so that the diet contains as little as possible sugar, wheat flour or moega-6 fats. Let's increase our consumption of yoghurts, lean cheeses and omega-3 fats. It is better to drink up to 2 liters of still water every day. It flushes all toxins out of the body and reduces the risk of liver deposits and removes sand from the kidneys. Physical activity, which can translate into daily walks or using the swimming pool, is of considerable importance. In addition to a good bed and a properly selected mattress, the position in which we put the body to sleep also matters. It is good to rest lying on your stomach because this position minimizes stress on the spine. Alternative medicine has many methods that can help in rehabilitation. You can be interested in acupuncture, which reduces tension by puncturing the right places (meridians) in the body. An electroacupuncture whose needles conduct a minimum current of various frequencies. Massage - starting with the classic one, which stimulates blood circulation and relaxes tense muscles.
