The summer months are a great time to travel. If you’re planning on taking a trip, you should ensure that your spine and body are ready to allow you to have the best time possible. Keeping it in proper alignment throughout the trip is beneficial. At Cosh Chiropractic Care & Wellness Center, we have been providing Trinity Country residents with natural and effective chiropractic care for many years. We are proud to serve the towns of Redding, Cottonwood, Mt. Shasta, Shingletown, Redbluff, Chico, Susanville, Anderson, and Fall River Mill. Following are tips from our chiropractor on maintaining spinal wellness while driving long distances and flying.
Protecting Your Back as You Travel
One of the best ways that you can protect your back as you travel is to make time for moving around. Whether you’re flying or driving, take regular breaks to stretch your back. This helps to keep your muscles from becoming too stiff and pulling the spine out of alignment.
If you’re planning on sleeping in a vehicle or on a plane, consider getting a neck pillow that supports your head while you sleep. Try to maintain proper posture as you travel so that your spine remains in its natural position. Chiropractic adjustments before you leave will ensure your spine is in a good position for your trip. Having alignments when you return can help to alleviate any pain or issues that occur because of your activities or transportation accommodations.
