Three measures for drivers to relieve low back pain
Trick 1: Healthy sitting posture is the key;

When driving, for posture, the greatest pressure on the lower back is sitting posture. The correct sitting posture can not only make the driver feel comfortable, but also provide the greatest support for his back. Therefore, drivers should pay attention to the adverse effects of sitting incorrectly.

A healthy sitting posture while driving is an S-shaped curve, which should be kept gentle at all times. In the car, drivers often take the opportunity to relax themselves and put the whole body on the chair to make the spine C-shaped. This bad posture will overstretch the ligaments in the lower back, compress the nerves in the nearby spine, and lead to back pain. The easiest way to avoid hunching when sitting is to move your hips back as far as possible, so that your spine can rest firmly on your hip joint and your lower back can be straightened. This is a natural habit. Another healthy way is to sit in a chair and put a small pillow 2 ~ 3 inches thick on the lower back. Meanwhile, avoid sitting for a long time. If you can get off the bus every 1 hour, you might as well stop and exercise your muscles. Through such exercise, drivers not only alleviate the low back pain caused by driving, but also reduce the occurrence of tummy.

Trick 2: Doing exercises in light time such as traffic jams;

I'm afraid every driver has this experience: waiting in endless traffic makes people more and more annoyed. Sitting in the carriage, backache is even more worrying. Zhang Ming said, why don't you turn on the soothing music in the car, sit up straight, hold your chest and abdomen, and take the time to do exercise when you are waiting for the lights in the traffic jam?

Shoulder spread: 1. Reach your right hand to your chest, and gently pull your right elbow with your left hand for about 5 ~ 10 seconds. You can also straighten your back, put your arms around your elbows, then raise your arms behind your head, lower your head, look down with your eyes, take a deep breath for 5 times, and then return to your original position; 2, let the body lean back from the waist as much as possible, which can strengthen the muscle strength of the back muscles. You can also stretch your arms back, grab the back of the chair with both hands, push your chest forward as far as possible, and tilt your face upward by 45? Horn.

Turn your back: sit up straight and sink your shoulders. Drive your body to the left with your waist, put your right hand on the steering wheel, put your left hand back on the backrest, and then repeat the action in another direction.

Trick 3: Healthy seats need attention:

When buying a car, you must pay attention to whether the seat is good or not and whether the back can be well supported. When driving, the height mismatch between the seat and the steering wheel will cause low back pain. At this time, it is necessary to keep the seat forward at an appropriate tilt angle, so that the knee is higher than the hip and the right foot cannot be completely straightened. When driving a long-distance bus, you should change the shape of the seat appropriately and get off to exercise your muscles.

The environment in the car will also affect the back. Zhang Ming said, don't turn the temperature in the cab too low. Cold air is more likely to induce low back pain in drivers with lumbar disc herniation. Of course, drivers should also prevent cervical spondylosis, whether it is to relieve low back pain or prevent cervical spondylosis, they should strengthen their own protection, that is, strengthen the functional exercise of waist muscles and carry out functional exercise of back muscles every day.
