Going away this summer? Want to make it as pain-free as possible? Here our Stoke on Trent chiropractor reveals the essential items to take on holidays to ease your back pain:
1: Water
Make sure you pack plenty of water for your journey and keep drinking it throughout your trip. Those exotic cocktails may seem more tempting that simple H20, but staying hydrated will help to keep your joints and muscles supple and help to reduce inflammation.
2: Your Pillows
Sleeping on a different pillow for a week or two may make neck pain worse. Pack your own pillow so that you can sleep in the position you’re used to while you’re on holidays.
3: Supportive Shoes
Flip flops are seriously bad news for your back. Instead of packing flimsy shoes, opt for well cushioned sandals that provide a strap or a cup to support your heel.
Following these simple tips will go a long way in helping to keep your spine healthy during your summer holiday.
