have a more compliant ride (especially
if you avoid the larger wheel sizes – an

is just right for your size and shape. Not
all SUVs are gas guzzlers. It is surprisingly
to now find an extremely economical
SUV or crossover type vehicle, if you are
wanting to look after the environment as
well as your back.
Can we help?
Taking the time and trouble to buy the
right car in the will help to avoid back
pain. However, if you are still suffering
(or can’t simply replace your car right
now), give the clinic a call for an initial
consultation. Although your car and your
sitting position are a likely underlying
contributor to your low back pain, there
may be other factors too, which we will
be able to identify, and address wherever
possible.
