Abstract

A healthy spine is of utmost importance when it comes to our quality of life. Many aspects of our lives including posture, exercise, nutrition, smoking, sleep and stress impact the spine. A fundamental understanding of the anatomy of our spine and how various factors affect spine health is important. The tremendous rise in technology has also significantly impacted spine health. The various electronic devices are often used for prolonged periods of time in the same position by adults and children for work, school and entertainment. In addition, the recent global matter of the pandemic and the major shift of the working population from the office to the home has affected our spine health. This mostly revolves around suboptimal work environments and work stations. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle both at work and home is important in keeping our spine and bodies in optimal shape and condition.
