Today I’d like
to talk about two more ways to take care of your back to avoid chronic back
pain and debilitating injury. In the
last blog I discussed how choosing the right bed and how simple changes to common
tasks can improve back pain. Let’s talk
about a couple more things you may not think about that can be done to avoid a
back injury.
Is your car causing you to have back issues?
Most potential car buyers look at the appearance of the car and may
visualize how they will look driving the car.
You take a test drive to see how the car handles or feels. In the flurry of excitement, you may not even
notice or care how the driver’s seat feels to your lower back. It’s not something that is often discussed. You might not notice how the seat makes your
back feel until you take that first, long road trip and realize that you are
not
comfortable. Don’t return the car just
yet. Try manipulating the seat adjustments
in your car to see what works best for you.
There are also many lumbar support products and even entire seat systems
that are designed specifically to help with
lower back issues while seated in
the car. Or try a less expensive
alternative – use a rolled-up bath towel and place it between your seat and lower
lumbar area. Experiment by moving it up
and down to see which position brings you more comfort.
