We’ve had quite a few patients call this morning about sore backs from shoveling and snow blowing. Here are some great snow removal tips to help prevent back and neck injuries:

Don't Twist
The main idea is to prevent your back from twisting and rounding forward. You should only push straight ahead of you and stand up almost straight. When you get to the end, lift the snow straight ahead of you, over the pile using your legs. It may not be the fastest way to shovel, but it's the least damaging to the low back.

Lighten Your Load
Instead of lifting big heavy shovelfuls of snow, try smaller loads with more frequent passes. Remember to push rather than lift.

Ergonomic Shovel
We recommend using one of those ergonomic angled shoves that lets you stand straighter when pushing. You can get these at most hardware and retail stores. The trade off is that since you are already more upright you won't be able to lift very much.

Stretching Before and After
Do a little stretching before and after shoveling. You should do all-over stretching but at the very least focus on stretching the low back, hamstrings and quadriceps.

Don't Shovel
The best tip is instead of shoveling use a snow blower, or better yet get someone else to do the shoveling. It might cost some money, but it will save your back. And no, I won't come over and help shovel.

See A Chiropractor
Keeping your spine mobile and aligned is the best way to prevent injuries, and or recover from an injury if you do get hurt. Keeping up with regular wellness visits is the key.

Hot Chocolate
My favorite. It may not help with your back, but it should help make the entire process a little more enjoyable.

Hope these tips will help you out this winter. If you have any questions and or need to get in for an appointment, don’t hesitate to give me a call/email today.

Hi everyone,
Hope you are having a day/week. The New Year is almost a month old, and we're still getting quite a few new and old patients calling about “getting back in shape” type of injuries. It’s great that they are calling our office, but not so great that they didn’t call first, before the working out.

Choosing Chiropractic as your first line of defense once an injury occurs can decrease the likelihood of surgery and further injury. So it is important to get to a Chiropractor right away. But the real take home, is that regular care can boost your performance, as well as prevent and manage injuries. That’s huge.

If you’ve been coming here for regular Chiropractic care, great, keep it up. If it’s been over a month, call or reply to this email ASAP, and we’ll really get you on the road to being “back in shape”.

Your friend in health,

Here's a healthy challenge for you. Try to sit less during the day, and try to avoid added sugar. You don't have to obsess about it, anything is better than nothing, but do it for a couple of weeks. You should notice less back, neck and joint pain, not to mention improvement in your overall health. You may even lose a few pounds. Anyway, try it and let me know how it goes.
