Snow shoveling might look like a good workout, but it’s one of the most common causes of winter back injuries. Heavy, wet snow combined with twisting and lifting can put serious strain on your spine, shoulders, and hips.
Shoveling Smart Tips:
-Warm up before heading outside
-Lift with your legs, not your back
-Avoid twisting while throwing snow
-Take frequent breaks
Chiropractic adjustments help keep your spine properly aligned, improve mobility, and reduce muscle tension—making you less prone to injury. If you’re already sore or stiff after shoveling, chiropractic care can help relieve pain, speed recovery, and get you back to feeling your best.
