Did you know that March is Va**ng Awareness Month? What about that April is Alcohol Awareness Month? If this topic seems foreign to you (and it is for many parents) we have the class for you. This class will help you navigate those tough conversations and allow you to provide tools to assist your child in developing the tools to resist to***co, alcohol and other substances.

January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, and at Rock Regional Hospital Derby, we are committed to helping our patients maintain healthy cervical spine and overall wellness.

The cervical spine is made up of the seven vertebrae in the neck and is a crucial part of the body's support system. It allows us to move our head in all directions, and it protects the spinal cord, which carries important nerve signals to and from the brain.

However, the cervical spine is also vulnerable to a variety of conditions, including neck pain, herniated discs, and degenerative conditions. It's important to take care of your cervical spine to maintain overall health and well-being.

Here are a few tips to help you maintain a healthy cervical spine:

Practice good posture: Maintaining good posture can help reduce strain on the neck and spine.

Exercise regularly: Staying active can help maintain flexibility and strength in the neck and spine.

Get enough sleep: Adequate sleep is essential for maintaining overall health, including the health of the cervical spine.

Use proper ergonomics: When using computers or other electronic devices, make sure you are seated in a comfortable, ergonomically correct position to reduce strain on the neck and spine.

Don't ignore pain: If you are experiencing neck or back pain, it's important to seek medical attention. Early treatment can often prevent more serious problems from developing.

If you have any questions or concerns about your cervical spine health, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our highly trained physicians. Together, we can work to maintain a healthy cervical spine and overall wellness.
