Why do truck drivers get back and knee pain? 

The job of a truck driver requires them to sit for long periods and occasionally they might have to lift heavy loads. The long hours on the road take a toll on the body. One of the most common ailments is lower back pain, while some truck drivers also complain of knee and neck pain. The inactivity of sitting plays a major role in causing pain in the lower back, neck, and knee. The vibrations from the roads cause the body to shake, putting stress on the joints and spine. What makes it worse is that truck drivers don’t treat the condition on time or are unable to take some time off work to get much-needed rest.

How can a chiropractor help?

Chiropractors use manual manipulation techniques to help align the spine and the joints. With regular sessions, chiropractic care can help alleviate many pains and dysfunctions associated with musculoskeletal imbalances. Chiropractors use drug-free, non-invasive techniques to manage and treat pain. They also provide guidance on how to improve posture when driving and other lifestyle changes that can help reduce back and knee pain.

Is it safe to visit a chiropractor with the current COVID-19 pandemic? 

The U.S Department of Homeland Security has categorized chiropractors as essential workers. That means you can visit a chiropractor during the ongoing COVID-19 situation. At Geudea Chiropractic, there is a great emphasis on providing customers with the safest possible environment. All recommended SOPs (standard operating procedures) for safe chiropractic care are rigorously followed at Geudea Chiropractic. The end of the COVID-19 is uncertain unless a vaccine becomes readily available.
