Hanging onto your health as you move around this summer can be a whole lot easier with some good chiropractic support. Your chiropractor will start where you are with a review of your lifestyle, health history, and current issues. Gentle targeted spinal adjustments may relieve aches and pains, and provide fresh energy and alertness. If injuries crop up mid-trip your chiropractor can assess the problem and provide treatment or needed referrals.
As you plan your trips, your chiropractor will have good preventive advice to stay safe. The American Chiropractic Association offers these safety tips for traveling.
Out There Driving
Make it a comfortable trip with careful planning.
- Make sure everyone is wearing their seatbelts
- Take frequent breaks to stretch and stay alert
- Make sure your back is well supported
- Sit close to the wheel with knees slightly higher than hips
- Exercise as you drive tightening calf, thighs, and glutes
- Only use electronics for map directions
- Alternate your focal point to avoid headaches
- Never drive drowsy
Flying Out
Stay alert and calm with a few steps when traveling by air.
- Check any bag that is 10 percent of body weight
- Never twist the body as you lift bags to upper compartments
- Use pillows to fit the neck and the curve of the spine
- Do ankle lifts and leg stretches to maintain circulation and avoid cramps
- Vary sitting positions and take breaks with aisle walks
- Drink lots of water and limit alcohol
- When you land, take a walk around your hotel or a nearby park
Summer always speeds past way too fast. Make this the best one with support from the Joint Chiropractic clinics nearby. You can count on them to be in your corner.
