Well, small changes in the objects used day-to-emotion and behavior can be done to prevent and alleviate the symptoms. The following tips from Harma, quoted from the Daily Mail.

1. Replace pillows that are more comfortable

Try different cushions can stop the pain in the neck. In addition, a mattress that is rigid can also help relieve pain in the spine. This is due to the bed or a pillow that is too soft will make the body sagged to the mattress or pillow so that the spine does not have a pedestal the better. Another way so that the back more comfortable is to divert the pressure from the back by putting a pillow in between the knees.

2. Fix posture

Bad posture leads to muscle imbalances and eventually putting pressure on certain areas of the spine. Fix the posture by changing the posture of the body day-to-day. One way according to Halma, imagine there is a helium balloon attached to the top of Your head so that Your head will always be upright.

The idea is to keep the body in front is leaning forward so that Your shoulders don't fall forward. This is also done to maintain the alignment of the lumbar region in the spine that are not too curved and not too flat.
