Chiropractic for Rideshare Drivers: Back & Neck Pain Relief on the Road

Why would a rideshare driver choose to start chiropractic care?

Here are five great reasons an Uber, Lyft, or similar driver might seek out care:

1. Chiropractic care can help reduce low back pain caused by long hours sitting in a car, often in cramped positions or with limited ability to adjust posture.

2. Adjustments can relieve neck and shoulder tension from constantly turning to check traffic, mirrors, or rear passengers.

3. Chiropractors can address hip, knee, and leg discomfort resulting from prolonged sitting, frequent braking, or poor seat ergonomics.

4. Better spinal alignment can improve overall energy and focus, making long drives feel less tiring and reducing mental fatigue behind the wheel.

5. Chiropractic care is preventative, helping drivers avoid chronic musculoskeletal issues that can develop over years of sitting and repetitive motion.

What are some common complaints rideshare drivers may list as a reason for starting care?

Drivers often experience low back pain, neck and shoulder stiffness, hip tightness, knee discomfort, sciatica or leg numbness, headaches, and general muscle fatigue. Postural issues, such as rounded shoulders or forward head posture from prolonged sitting, are also noted by many such professionals. These are all common complaints and can all be appropriately addressed through a plan of chiropractic care!

How can a KIRO membership help a rideshare driver feel their best?
