Chiropractic Care for Truck Drivers in Scottsdale, AZ
Truck drivers keep America moving, but long hours behind the wheel take a heavy toll on the body. At Arizona Pain & Posture, LLC in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Marc Bonacci has worked with many drivers and transportation professionals and understands the conditions that are unique to their industry, as well as how to prevent them.
Dr. Bonacci has done extensive research in ergonomics and offers presentations to local companies. He has seen firsthand how preventable conditions such as chronic fatigue, migraine headaches, back pain, arm and leg pain, deep vein thrombosis, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis affect drivers’ health and careers. These problems contribute to the industry’s high turnover rate and to costly workers’ compensation claims. Dr. Bonacci is also writing a book to educate drivers on the treatment and prevention of these conditions.
Why Driving Is So Hard on the Body
The human body was not designed to sit for many hours while absorbing constant vibration. The combination of a fixed seated position and the steady jolting of the truck stresses the spine and nervous system. Over time this can lead to:
- Lower back pain, disc degeneration, and sciatica
- Neck and shoulder pain from prolonged posture
- Frequent headaches and migraines
- Arm and leg pain, numbness, and tingling
- Poor circulation and increased risk of deep vein thrombosis
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Chronic fatigue symptoms
Recognizing Chronic Fatigue Symptoms
If you feel constantly worn down or have been told you have “fatigue syndrome,” watch for these symptoms: persistent fatigue, loss of memory or concentration, unexplained muscle pain, pain that moves around the body, headaches, extreme exhaustion, and sleep that does not leave you refreshed. Dr. Bonacci has developed effective techniques to address these issues.
How We Help Drivers Stay Healthy
Our treatment begins with finding the true source of your pain. The gentle Bonacci Method℠ realigns the muscles, fascia, joints, and nerves stressed by long hours of driving. We then provide corrective exercises and stretches you can do on the road, guidance on seat setup and posture, and nutrition and lifestyle advice to boost energy and reduce inflammation.
Drivers deserve the chance to stay healthy while working and to keep common conditions from ending their careers. We also offer corporate ergonomics programs and postural screenings for trucking and transportation companies.
