Here are some suggestions
By Diana Kohnle
(HealthDay News) -- Traveling long distances in the car can take a toll on your back.
The American Chiropractic Association suggests how to keep back pain at bay during a car trip:
Adjust your seat so you're sitting comfortably close to the wheel, with your knees just higher than your hips.
Use a back support.
Take regular breaks to rest.
Stretch your toes, leg muscles and shoulders as you drive.
Keep hands on the steering wheel at the 3:00 and 7:00 positions, alternating occasionally with the 10:00 and 2:00 positions.
Keep a relaxed grip on the wheel, occasionally tightening, then loosening, your hold.Saturday, May 28, 2011
