BEWARE! YOUR SPINE BEING BENT CAUSED BY TRAFFIC JAM
Driving in a big city like Jakarta is like a nightmare, very energy-consuming. Not only makes stress or calf ache, but also back pain and spinal problems.
HEAT AND PAIN
Not only cool or filled with entertaining music, the cabin must also provide a comfortable sitting position. The correct sitting position makes handling the car better, also maintaining performance or driving endurance. Although it sounds trivial, sitting position when driving gives a huge influence on the comfort of the driver. The wrong sitting position can make fatigue, back and neck become the target of pain and aches, said Dr. Wahyu Eko Widiharso, Sp.OT.
A good driver must be relaxed, not tense and his mind focused. But this suggestion tends to be interpreted by bending down with a back that is curved or too stretched backwards. This is a big mistake because if it is carried out continuously, the extreme pain in the spine cannot be avoided, continued the orthopedic surgeon specialist from Puri Indah Hospital, South Kembangan, West Jakarta. Second mistake, back straight but too straight. This is usually done by women or small-scale drivers. The seat is pulled very close to the steering wheel with a very upright backrest. The backbone is not curved, but the position is not relaxed. Make you tired quickly, said this University of Indonesia graduate. Direct sitting position can interfere with reflexes and hand and foot coordination in controlling the vehicle. If done for a long time it will trigger lower back pain or low back pain.
The back is very sensitive to muscle tension due to daily stress. Sitting in a bent position, less than 90 degrees, can trigger the muscles to work hard without enough recovery and stunted blood flow to the muscles. Thus resulting in sore complaints in the lower back, said doctors who are experienced in a number of educational and training institutions in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan and India. Symptoms of burning, such as burning in the area of the back and back, tingling and achy, become painful for a long time from back to legs. Just stiffness or tingling, can be overcome by relaxation, rest or exercise. But if there is prolonged pain, therapy and treatment must be done by a doctor
ERGONOMIC POSITION
According to Dr. Wahyu Eko, the best position for driving is called an ergonomic position. Provides comfort, makes it easy to control the vehicle and does not threaten backbone health.
LUMBAR SUPPORT
Back cushion or back pads, known as lumbar support, can help keep the spine straight. Origin, its use still keeps the body in an upright position, the back does not bend.
WALLET SYNDROM
This is a disease of people with thick chests. That is, the driver who used to pocket a wallet or object in the back pocket of his pants. Initial symptoms of the buttocks and legs are tingling, sore, and become painful for a long time. Wallets or other thick objects in the back pocket can press nerves in the upper legs to the bottom. Pressing the piriformis muscle, the muscle then presses the nerve. Because it’s also called piriformis syndrome, explained Dr. Revelation.
Not only the wallet, this problem can also occur because the pants are too tight pressing on the legs of the back, buttocks and piriformis nerve earlier. Therefore, it is recommended to wear loose clothes for a long trip.
