It’s easy to forget to drink water when it’s freezing outside, but your spinal discs are largely made of water! ☕ Heavy snow removal and cold air actually dehydrate you faster than you think.

Dehydrated discs are less "springy" and more prone to injury during winter activities. Aim for at least 8oz of water for every 20 minutes you spend outside shoveling or walking in the snow.

Keep your spine cushioned and healthy this winter. 📅 Schedule here: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

You don't have to hit the ground to get hurt on the ice. 🧊 That sudden, violent "jerk" your body does to keep you from falling can cause significant whiplash-like stress on your spine and hips.

If you had a "near-fall" recently and feel a new ache in your hip, back, or neck, don't ignore it. Your muscles likely spasmed to protect your spine, which can lead to long-term misalignment if not addressed.

Check your alignment before a "tweak" becomes a "problem." 📅 Book an appointment: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

When the temps drop into the negatives, our bodies have a natural reflex to hunch up, bring our shoulders to our ears, and tighten our necks to stay warm. 🥶

This constant "shivering posture" leads to tension headaches and upper back knots. Try the "Shoulder Reset": Drop your shoulders, squeeze your blades together for 5 seconds, and release. Do this 10 times after coming inside from the cold.

Did you spend your day wrestling snow? ❄️ Shoveling is one of the most common causes of winter back injuries because it combines heavy lifting with a twisting motion.

To protect your lumbar spine, avoid throwing snow over your shoulder. Instead, turn your whole body to dump the shovel. This prevents the dangerous "lift and twist" that leads to herniated discs.

If your back is feeling the strain of the storm, let's get it back in line. 📅 Schedule your recovery here: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

If you are involved in a winter weather accident—even at low speeds—adrenaline often masks pain for the first 24–48 hours. Watch for "delayed onset" symptoms like neck stiffness, headaches, or a dull ache in your lower back. Seeking a chiropractic evaluation within the first few days can help identify misalignments before they turn into chronic pain.

Your health is our priority, and we’re here to help you recover quickly and safely.

Your driveway might be clear, but how is your back feeling?

After heavy exertion like shoveling, use ice (not heat) on any new sore spots for the first 24–48 hours to reduce inflammation. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.

Let’s get your spine back in alignment after all that hard work. 📅 Grab a spot on our schedule this week: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

❄️ You might not feel thirsty in the cold, but your spinal discs and joints need water to stay cushioned.

HEALTH TIP: Shoveling and shivering both dehydrate you quickly. Drink a full glass of water after every round of snow removal to keep your joints lubricated and help flush out the lactic acid buildup in your muscles.

Stuck inside due to the weather? ☕ It’s easy to spend the whole day hunched over a laptop or binging a show, but "Tech Neck" is real!

HEALTH TIP: Set a timer for every 30 minutes to stand up, roll your shoulders back, and tuck your chin. This resets your posture and prevents the stiffness that comes from prolonged sitting.

An ergonomic shovel with a curved handle reduces the amount you have to bend, taking significant pressure off your lower back. Also, make sure your boots have great traction to prevent those sudden "micro-strains" from slipping on ice.

Keep your spine aligned even in the snow. 📅 Request an appointment: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

As the snow piles up, remember: Shoveling is a workout, not just a chore! 🧤

Always push the snow instead of lifting it whenever possible. If you must lift, bend at your knees (not your waist) and avoid the "lift and twist" motion, which is the #1 cause of winter disc injuries.

If you feel a "tweak" in your back today, don't wait for it to get worse. 📅 Book your post-storm recovery session: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

❄️ BIG SNOW COMING! ❄️ The forecast is calling for a 3-day storm starting tomorrow. Before the flakes start falling, remember that cold muscles are more prone to injury.

HEALTH TIP: Take 5 minutes to do some light dynamic stretching (like arm circles and gentle torso twists) before you head out to shovel. A warm muscle is a flexible muscle!

Stay ahead of back pain and get adjusted before the storm hits. 📅 Schedule here: https://northtownchiro.janeapp.com/

Pain is usually the last symptom to appear, not the first. Long before your back "goes out," your body sends whispers: a slight tightness in your hip, a dull ache after driving, or a loss of flexibility when tying your shoes. Don’t wait for the "scream" of a full-blown injury to take action.

Preventive chiropractic care helps you catch small misalignments before they become big problems.
