We’re getting to that time of the year where everyone is itching to get out of town, hit the open road, and drive as far as the stars will take them. As a chiropractor for lower back pain, I know that a long car ride is not always the best way to start a vacation. Spending a long time sitting cramped in a car with kids fighting in the back seat can cause muscle tension, stress, and aches and pains in more than one place.
These tips to prevent back pain don’t just work in the car, they apply to anyone who finds themselves in a long commute, an ergonomically challenged workspace, or one of those tubes that take us from one city to another really fast via the sky... I can’t seem to remember what they’re called...
Get Comfy Immediately
Watch Your Posture
Move Around
Alternate Between Ice and Heat
