Driving for prolonged periods strains the back, since the lumbar curve is not maintained. In addition, vibration and jolting can aggravate back pain. The Sports Injury Clinic offers suggestions for seat positions and support to decrease discomfort. Patients should sit with the thighs supported by the seat, not too far from the pedals, to avoid strain on the upper back. Other tips include using a lumbar support device positioned so it gently presses on the lower back at belt height, relaxing while driving, getting out of the car and walking around periodically, but after long periods in the car, avoiding bending and stretching.
