Flexibility: Flexibility and activity are some of the most important things in the spine for all ages. As we age, it's most important to continue our flexibility and be active. Judicious use of nsaids is needed- not ever to be abused. Look for williams exercises on spineuniverse.Com to maintain flexibility. Consider yoga.
