Road Trip Tips for Avoiding Back Pain

Seasonal Tips

Spring has just about sprung, and for many New Yorkers, that means it’s time to hit the road. Before you head out on your next road trip, consider these helpful tips for avoiding back pain on a long drive.

Road Tip Trips for Avoiding Back Pain on a Long Drive

USE GOOD POSTURE IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT

If you have back pain from driving or riding in a car, your posture may be the culprit. Whether it’s a long drive or a short one, follow some useful tips like keeping your hips level with your knees, sitting at about a 100-110-degree angle, and using your headrest to support your neck. You may also want to consider getting a lumbar support pillow or neck pillow for extra support on longer trips.

MAKE FREQUENT STOPS TO STRETCH

We all love making good time on the road, but you don’t want to forego occasional stops in the name of saving a few minutes. Stopping about every hour and taking 10-15 minutes to stretch out and walk around will help prevent back pain from driving. One of the best general road trip tips is to set out a couple hours early, and this will allow for extra time to make those stops on a long drive.

VISIT YOUR CHIROPRACTOR BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR ROAD TRIP

Regular visits to the chiropractor will help relieve pain, heal underlying injuries that cause your discomfort, restore function, and get you on a path to better overall wellness. Chiropractic care before a road trip helps prevent soreness in your back and neck on a longer drive. Getting adjusted after your adventure helps relieve any stress and tension in the muscles so that you can get back to your routine pain-free. Plus, your chiropractor can provide helpful lifestyle tips so that you can stay pain-free on your next 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!
