Don't let your back pain melt your spirits (or your torso)! ☃️

While a heating pad feels great in the moment, using it on a fresh injury from shoveling all this snow can sometimes increase inflammation. Back pain is SNOW JOKE: Back pain after a storm is serious business. 🧊

We love a good laugh, but we take your recovery seriously. If you've been hitting the driveway hard, remember: Ice for the first 48 hours, then see Dr. Reena Pathak, DC . Using a heating pad on an acute injury can lead to more swelling.

If you’re feeling more like the snowman on the right than the one on the left, skip the DIY 'melt' and come see us instead. Dr. Reena Pathak, DC has some appointments available at Hands On Health Windsor to help you with your back pain to help you recover safely and effectively.

Stay Safe & Back-Pain-Free This Winter

Shovelling snow is a leading cause of seasonal back injuries. Dr. Reena Pathak, DC (Clinic Director at Hands On Health Windsor) shares her essential chiropractic tips to keep your spine safe this season.

1. Don’t Let it Pile Up Shovel frequently during a storm. Moving smaller amounts often is much easier on your spine than tackling one massive, heavy cleanup.

2. Pick the Right Tool Use a lightweight, pusher-type shovel.

Pro Tip: Spray metal shovels with cooking spray so the snow slides right off!

3. Push, Don’t Throw Push the snow to the side whenever possible. Avoid sudden twisting or throwing movements—these are the top causes of disc injuries.

4. The "Power Stance" If you must lift, bend your knees and use your leg muscles. Keep your back straight and the load close to your body.

5. Warm Up First Treat shovelling like a workout. Do a 10–15 minute walk or light stretch to prep your muscles before heading out.

6. Listen to Your Body Take breaks. If you feel shortness of breath, chest pain, or back pain, stop immediately.

🏥 Why Maintenance Matters

Prevention is the best tool. Cold weather and repetitive motion can cause "Yard Work Blues."

Regular chiropractic adjustments and proper posture ensure your body is resilient enough to handle the winter workload.

As Dr. Reena says, "Health care is most effective when there is a partnership between a patient and their health care provider."

Remember: Push, don't twist!

Due to winter weather conditions, the Windsor Police Service is responding to a high volume of collision-related calls across the city. Snow, ice, and reduced visibility are making road conditions unpredictable and dangerous.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, leave extra space between vehicles, and adjust their driving to the conditions.

If your trip is not necessary, consider delaying travel until conditions improve. Please use caution, plan ahead, and help keep our roads safe for everyone this winter.
