Why Drivers Are Prone to Back and Neck Pain
Driving may not seem physically intense, but it’s one of the riskiest occupations for spinal health. Here’s why:
-
Prolonged Sitting: Reduces circulation, tightens muscles, and stresses your spine.
-
Whole-Body Vibration: From road surfaces and heavy vehicles—leads to nerve compression and spinal misalignment.
-
Limited Mobility: Minimal stretching or breaks can cause postural fatigue and stiffness.
Research shows that nearly 59% of truck drivers report lower back pain. It’s a serious issue that affects driving performance and quality of life.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Drivers Stay on the Road
At Bathurst Chiropractic, we help drivers manage and prevent pain with targeted chiropractic care that suits your schedule and lifestyle:
Chiropractic Adjustments
We use precise spinal adjustments to relieve pressure, reduce nerve interference, and restore mobility. This can significantly reduce symptoms like sciatica, neck stiffness, and hip pain.
Posture Correction
We assess your posture behind the wheel and provide advice to reduce slouching and muscular strain while driving.
Stretching & Strength Guidance
Learn stretches you can do during rest stops to loosen tight muscles, plus core-strengthening exercises to support your spine.
Common Conditions We Help With
