If your daily drive is leaving you with neck stiffness, shoulder and back tension, or a dull headache by the time you get home, you’re not alone. Long commutes are one of the biggest hidden stressors on your spine—and over time, that wear and tear can take a serious toll.
At Dakota Family Chiropractic, we help busy professionals and parents undo the damage that builds up from all the time spent sitting behind the wheel.
Why Commuting Causes So Much Discomfort
“Poor posture, limited movement, and vibrations from the road all contribute to microtraumas in your spine. When your nervous system is overloaded or misaligned, your body sends warning signals—like pain, fatigue, or tension,” says Dr. Mike.
He uses INSiGHT™ scans that reveal exactly where stress is showing up in your nervous system, allowing us to provide specific chiropractic adjustments that ease pressure and restore balance.
SoftWave Support for Chronic Tightness
In addition to chiropractic care, we offer another powerful tool to help drivers find relief from pain and tightness. SoftWave therapy, an innovative, non-invasive modality, uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in muscles and joints. It’s incredibly effective for:
- Tight neck muscles
- Shoulder pain
- Trigger points from poor posture
- Chronic tension headaches
SoftWave is an ideal complement to chiropractic care for those who spend hours in a car or at a desk.
Customized Care to Help You Feel Better
Whether you’re behind the wheel for work or stuck in school pickup lines every afternoon, our custom-tailored care can help your body handle the strain better—and heal faster.
