Drive Off Holiday Back Pain!

Seasonal Tips

The holidays are a wonderful time of year, but also include a lot of travel. Getting together with friends and family is nice, but the back pain that comes with long road trips – not so much. Here are our tips to help you drive away from back pain.

Get a Move On

Whether or not you suffer from chronic back pain, long hours on the road prevent you from standing up and moving when you need to. Oversitting is a common cause of back pain and research shows that one way to prevent it is to get up and get moving. Be sure to stop the car every few hours and get a move on. Stretch your legs and back and take a short walk. You can even plan your stops to check out local sites or parks along the way so you can prevent back pain while enjoying the journey.

Rest Up

A pre-road trip plan should include plenty of rest. Not only should you be well-rested to ensure you get to your destination safely, but also because a lack of sleep can increase your back pain. Research has shown that when you don’t get enough restful sleep, you risk an increased tendency to suffer from pain. And the only thing worse than sitting in traffic is sitting in traffic in pain! Even if you aren’t driving and think you might rest up on the road, keep in mind that sleeping in a scrunched-up position will probably leave you even more sore than before. Aim to get at least six hours of good sleep each night, but especially before a long road trip.

Join Us for an Adjustment

The benefits of chiropractic care are plenty, and preventing back and neck pain is just one of them. Chiropractic manipulations to the spine and joints release tension and restriction. You may not be aware, but the joints in your body and spine are constantly shifting and so chiropractic adjustments ensure your spine is in proper alignment. The health of your spine is always important, but particularly so before holiday travel. There’s no need for back pain to slow you down this holiday season, so rather than sit in discomfort, click here and schedule an adjustment before your big road trip!

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
