WHEN SHOOTS IN THE BACK …

Chronic pain in the spine for a person driving is simply a disaster. You can get rid of them!

Drivers often complain of backache, radiculitis, osteochondrosis. For people of this profession, the spine is the main risk zone, since the sitting position is unfavorable for the vertebrae. Add to this the constant vibration, drafts and functional disorder of most car seats (in this they are similar to a simple home chair). Hence the driver’s troubles - even constant painful back pain.

What do drivers do in such cases? They endure pain for a long time, without taking measures, until they thoroughly finish it. Meanwhile, the intervertebral discs begin to wear out, as if to melt - the spine "sits down" and the pain becomes stronger. Few drivers know that the most convenient and simplest product for the prevention of back pain is a special orthopedic pillow for a car seat. It creates comfortable conditions for one of the most mobile departments - the lumbar, unloads it, relieves stress. Made taking into account the shape of the lumbar, the pillow has special straps with which it is fastened to the chair at the level of the diseased vertebra. Belts give the product versatility, making it suitable for a driver of any height. The weight does not matter either: a full driver or a thin one, under the pressure of the body the pillow will take the necessary shape, although its shape will not change in principle.

By the way, it is not necessary to wait for the development of osteochondrosis and only then acquire an overhead pillow as a therapeutic agent. Given the orthopedic inadequacy of most of our cars and so many foreign cars in relation to the spine, you can take proactive measures.

Another remedy is orthopedic bandage. In economically developed countries, it becomes a faithful companion of life for those who work with a heavy load on both the lumbosacral and other parts of the spine. For a driver who works for a long time in a sitting position, he helps to loosen the muscles of the lower back, increases the distance between the vertebrae, not allowing them to "sit down", squeeze blood vessels and nerves. True, buying a bandage yourself, without a preliminary examination by a doctor, is not worth it. You can hurt yourself instead of helping.

In addition to the lumbar vertebrae, drivers are tormented by pain caused by the most mobile vertebrae - the cervical ones. The reason is that car seats do not have a comfortable headrest. Take the usual VAZ “six”, where there is nothing to lean on the back of the head. Therefore, the driver, after the first hundred kilometers, feels the tension of the cervical muscles and shoulders. So, cramps appear, the blood supply to the brain worsens, which in turn causes headaches and eye fatigue.

This can be avoided. There is, for example, an orthopedic product that resembles both a collar and a pillow at the same time: a soft and at the same time resilient foam roller that fits the neck. A characteristic detail - its back is wide and elongated, so that you can lean on it well. There are other devices, they are called neck bandages. However, when choosing them, you also need to consult a specialist doctor. Amateur performances are very dangerous here, especially if you don’t know what they are talking about: inflammation of the muscles, atrophy of the intervertebral disc, or, for example, the consequences of an injury.
