Commuting and Back Pain: 3 Tips to Try

By Virginia Laird

Each year there are millions who commute at least 30 minutes to work. This can take a toll on the body. Many who commute admit to struggling with back pain daily. Rather than allowing this pain to take over your commute, there are a few things you can do to help prevent it. Several chiropractic tips to help you avoid such pain include:

  • Stretch before you go 
  • Get plenty of sleep 
  • Check in with your chiropractor 

Stretch Before You Go

Chiropractors strongly encourage that you stretch before you hit the road. This is a great habit to help release tension throughout the body. Chiropractors encourage patients to make stretching part of your commuting routine. This can help keep back pain from taking over your drive. Your stretching should include the back and neck, along with any other areas that may be tense prior to your time on the road. Making this a part of your routine can be helpful in making your commute pain-free. 

Get Plenty of Sleep

Getting enough sleep can affect the body in a variety of ways, including with back pain. When there is a lack of sleep, the body can be more susceptible to pain, including back pain. For those commuting, it is necessary to get plenty of sleep to help prevent back pain on your drive to and from work. It is suggested that the average adult get at least six hours of sleep. Still, there are some who need much more than this. Make sure you go to bed early enough to help avoid unnecessary back pain.  

Check In With Your Chiropractor

Routine chiropractic care can be helpful in preventing and managing back pain. While you visit with your chiropractor, together you will work to find a way to manage your pain. Using adjustments to the joints of the spine, your chiropractor will work to release tension and restore function to the spine.
