A trip offers a great chance to have fun, visit loved ones, or explore a new place. However, aches and pains can flare up while traveling, whether you drive or fly to your destination. Our chiropractor at Reed Chiropractic Clinic in Solon, OH, offers helpful advice on relieving pain and soreness during your travels.
Pain Relief for Car Travel
Sitting in a car for hours can leave you feeling achy. Ensuring your seat is comfortable can help reduce your risk of muscle tension and soreness. If your vehicle has lumbar support, use this feature to lower your risk of developing back pain. You can also do simple stretches in your car to help keep your muscles from tensing up. Roll your shoulders, stretch your neck, and do other easy stretches. Take breaks every so often, and get out of your vehicle so that you can flex your legs.
Pain Relief for Air Travel
If you are flying to your destination, you can end up with tense muscles from sitting on a plane for long periods. Ensure your seat is comfortable with a neck or back pillow for support. If you have an aisle seat, you have more room to stretch your legs during your flight. If not, stand up and stretch when you have a chance. Pack light to avoid lugging a heavy bag around at the airport.
Chiropractic Care to Ease Pain
Experiencing chiropractic pain treatment before your trip can help ensure your joints are in good travel condition. You can also have chiropractic treatment when you return to ease any aches and pains you still have after your trip.
