Travel and Back Pain: How Can You Avoid It? - 1st Week

By Genevieve Cunningham

This time of year is a lot of fun. The weather begins to cooperate, the sun shines bright, and summer activities begin to come to light. Many people also find themselves out of school, off work, and ready to travel! While traveling can certainly be a ton of fun and something to look forward to, it can also be hard on your body, especially on your back. To truly enjoy your travel this season, check out these quick and easy tips for maintaining a safe back while you’re on the go.

Pack Light

The lighter your bag, the less work it is on your back. If it’s possible, keep your bags to a minimum. It's tempting to pack half of your closet and 17 pairs of shoes, but it might not be necessary. If it's really not possible to keep it light, make sure that you lift with your legs, or use a luggage cart when possible. You might also consider making multiple trips with your luggage instead of trying to haul three or four bags in one go. A heavy bag does more damage than you realize, so avoid them as much as you can.

Move More

When you’re traveling, you’re always on the go, but you’re not always on the move. There’s actually a lot of sitting still throughout the traveling process. In order to prevent back pain, move as much as you can. Take frequent breaks, incorporate some walking or some exercise, and stretch your body as much as you can. The more flexible and mobile you keep your body while traveling, the less likely you are to experience significant pain.

Get Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors help to keep the spine in great health and properly aligned. When you’re constantly traveling, the vertebrae of your spine can become misaligned, which contributes to the pain and discomfort that you may feel. Add regular trips to the chiropractor into your life, and especially throughout traveling season to keep your back and body in the best shape.

If you would like to try chiropractic care to add to your lifestyle, check out The Joint Chiropractic. At The Joint, getting care is easier than ever with walk-in visits and affordable pricing. You won’t have to worry or stress about fitting in appointments or saving pennies. Get the care you need and get ready for travel season ahead with a quick trip to The Joint as soon as today.
