Amusement Parks Aren't Always Amusing

By Virginia Laird

With the summer sprinting into view, many begin to consider the plethora of day trips to take, including the amusement park. Although these offer plenty of thrills and excitement, there are some who may shiver at the idea of heading to Fiesta Texas to spend hours on end on their feet. Chiropractors suggest that this can lead to a great deal of back pain. Still, they have offered a few suggestions to help you enjoy your trip without the pain, including:

  • Bring a stroller for the little ones
  • Wear comfy shoes
  • Pack light and use a backpack

Bring A Stroller For The Little Ones

Chiropractors admit that when you plan to be on your feet for a long period of time that bringing a stroller for your young children can help keep the load off your back. Research indicates that lugging around your sidekick can be brutal to the back, which can lead to back pain. Do yourself a favor and pack a stroller on your next adventure.

Wear Comfy Shoes

With the nice weather finally in full swing, you are bound to be preparing to make your first visit to Fiesta Texas. With all the fun in store it can be easy to forget about the perils that can accompany such a trip. Chiropractors suggest that being on your feet can lead to pain throughout the back. It is suggested that you wear comfy shoes for your day at the park. This is the best way to help prevent and manage your back pain.

Pack Light And Use a Backpack

Another tip offered by chiropractors is to pack light, and do it in a backpack. There are many essentials you may want to carry along, including sunscreen, water bottle, wallet, etc. These items thrown in a bag can weigh you down. And tossing them all in a bag with a single strap can pull at the spine, causing restriction. For this reason chiropractors suggest that a lightweight two-strapped backpack can help keep your load evenly distributed so that your spine does not suffer.

If you are one who suffers with severe back pain, a quick trip to The Joint Chiropractic can help you manage your pain before you ever hit the amusement park. With more than 450 locations nationwide you are sure to find one nearby. And with no appointment necessary you can be seen as soon as you need it. Drop by on your way home from work today.

Now you are ready to get out there and enjoy your day riding the rides, and spending time with those you love while leaving back pain at home.
