Travel Related Back Pain - Causes and Prevention

NYC is one of the most vibrant tourist destinations, with 52.7 million domestic and international visitors every year, many of whom suffer from back pain caused by long trips and increased physical activity levels while in New York City. Long plane rides, bus transfers, train hopping, and taxi rides are harmful for the back, mostly due to extended periods of sitting. Dehydration is also common during traveling, which exacerbates back pain. This means many tourists exhibit discomfort upon arrival, and if left untreated, it can worsen and get in the way of a pleasant vacation.

Wearing the Right Footwear Helps

Another common cause of back pain in visitors is the extensive walking that is the norm when exploring NYC. Walking for extended periods in unsuitable shoes (particularly flip-flops and other types of footwear that offer no support) will have an adverse effect on the back and cause discomfort and pain.
