❄️ Have you heard that we are supposed to get snow this weekend? We want you to protect your back when shoveling! ❄️
Shoveling snow might be a winter chore, but your spine doesn’t have to pay the price. Even the strongest backs can get stressed if you don’t move wisely.
Here’s helpful tips from your friendly neighborhood Chiropractor:
☃️ Warm up first – Cold muscles = cranky spine. A quick stretch or brisk walk helps.
☃️ Lift with your legs, not your back – Bend at hips & knees, keep the shovel close, avoid rounding your spine.
☃️ Step, don’t twist – Rotate your whole body instead of twisting at the waist.
☃️ Smaller scoops – Heavy loads = more stress on your discs. Go light, go safe.
☃️ Push when possible – Pushing = less strain than lifting.
☃️ Take breaks – Fatigue is your spine’s worst enemy.
Even with perfect form, snow shoveling stresses your body. That’s where chiropractic care comes in! ✨ Adjustments help restore joint motion, ease tension, and support your nervous system. Allowing you moving pain-free this winter.
Feeling sore, stiff, or “off” after shoveling? Come see us and let your body recover the right way. Your spine works hard—treat it well! 💚
