Can driving cause sciatica pain?

Will driving a lot cause my sciatica pain to flare up again? I get horrible cramps sometimes after I drive long distances and I worry that I need to drive less frequently.

Liz Jenson · Updated on Mar 17, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation! It’s true that driving can cause sciatica pain—especially

driving long distances

. So it’s entirely possible that your driving habits are the culprit.

Fortunately, you can take some preventative measures to experience less discomfort after driving, including:

Making regular stops to stretch (at least 15 minutes for every two hours of driving)

Sitting with your thighs parallel to the ground

Adding a support cushion to your car seat

Drinking a lot of water to prevent some of the muscle-related symptoms

Keeping your shoulders back and your spine straight when seated

While you’re learning how to prevent sciatica pain, why not learn how to save on your car insurance, too? The

app makes it quick and easy.
