Traveling with Chronic Low Back Pain?

San Francisco Chiropractic Doctor Comments:

Wow_142c1 Traveling is very hard on your body. The reason for this is because you are carrying heavy luggage, sleeping in different beds, and usually doing physical activities outside of your normal baseline...this can stir things up if you aren't careful.

If you have chronic low back pain and you need to travel...the best thing you can do is try to take it easy before you go. Do the things that seem to give you back pain relief.

I have my San Francisco chiropractic patients see me right before they go...and right when they get back from their trip.

It's also best to start icing a few days before you go...and to bring some ice packs with you, as well as a back support to wear when you are on the plane and carrying your luggage. The kind of elastic back support you can buy in a Walgreen's store.

Always remember to listen to your body. If you feel the low back pain coming on...ice right away and put the back support on. Try to do a little stretching...and carry as little as possible when you are walking around. If you do all these things you have a pretty good chance to make it through the trip OK.

For a complimentary consultation at Executive Express Chiropractic at the Embarcadero Center in downtown San Francisco...call 415-392-2225, ext 1.
