Why Snow Shoveling Makes You Sore — and How Redstone Chiropractic & Wellness Can Help

Snow shoveling may look like a simple winter chore, but it is one of the most physically demanding activities many people do all season. The combination of cold temperatures, heavy loads, and repetitive bending and twisting places significant strain on your muscles and joints. This often leads to soreness in the lower back, shoulders, neck, hips, and knees.

When you shovel snow, your body is performing sudden lifting motions that it may not be conditioned for—especially if you’ve been less active during colder months. Cold muscles are tighter and more prone to strain, and awkward posture can cause spinal joints to stop moving properly. These joint restrictions, along with muscle tension and spasms, can result in stiffness, inflammation, and lingering pain for days after the storm has passed.

At Redstone Chiropractic & Wellness, we focus on restoring proper joint movement and helping your body heal naturally. Gentle chiropractic adjustments improve mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and help muscles relax so the body can recover more efficiently. Our care also helps prevent future injury by improving posture and biomechanics, making everyday movements safer and easier.

To enhance recovery and provide faster relief, we offer several supportive therapies tailored to your individual needs:

Medical-grade red light therapy helps reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and stimulate cellular repair deep within the muscles and tissues.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) relaxes tight muscles, decreases spasms, and improves blood flow to sore areas.

Trigger point therapy targets painful muscle knots that contribute to tension and referred pain.

Myofascial release therapy focuses on relieving restrictions in connective tissue to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.

By combining chiropractic care with these advanced therapies, we address both joint and muscle sources of pain for more complete and lasting relief.

Snow shoveling doesn’t have to lead to days of discomfort. With the right care, your body can recover quickly and stay strong throughout the winter months. Redstone Chiropractic & Wellness is here to help you heal, move better, and stay active all season long.

If you’re experiencing soreness or stiffness after shoveling snow, schedule an appointment today and let us help you get back to feeling your best. Call or text for an appointment 724-245-1614.

It’s always important to take time for self-care.

Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated, it just needs to be consistent. As 2026 begins, choose habits that help you feel calm, strong, healthy, and supported every day.

As we step into 2026, one of the most powerful things you can do is prioritize consistent self-care. Not the occasional spa day or quick stretch, but small habits that support your well-being daily.

Yesterday was volleyball night for the women’s league team, and I’m so grateful the girls have the opportunity to participate.
Team sports like volleyball offer meaningful benefits for both physical health and social development. From a musculoskeletal perspective, volleyball builds strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and cardiovascular endurance. The dynamic movements involved — jumping, lateral motion, rotation, and rapid changes in direction — support joint mobility, bone density, neuromuscular control, and postural stability, all of which are essential for injury prevention, performance, and long-term physical resilience.
Beyond the physical benefits, team sports play an important role in emotional and social well-being. Athletes develop communication skills, accountability, and the ability to work toward shared goals. Being part of a team fosters confidence, stress management, emotional regulation, and a sense of belonging — all of which support a healthy nervous system and improved quality of life.
At every age, movement paired with meaningful connection supports a healthier, more balanced individual. This is wonderful example of how physical activity strengthens not only the body, but also the mind and community.

All Souls’ Night
W.B. Yeats

Midnight has come, and the great Christ Church bell
And may a ghost come from the dead,
Because my friends have gone and come again,
The one in ghostly form, and one in sight,
And have not found me lacking friend to friend.
They know that I have waited, year on year,
For one for whose dear sake I pace
On this chill chimney-top the sunlit year,
And call her ghost, but to this place has come
Only the common ghost.
And now the churchyard is alive with ghosts,
Spirits broken by the hard labour of the world,
Who would be merry; or those whose hearts were tired
Of the long loneliness that comes of sleep;
And Celtic forms that had their faces
On French coins in the Continental wars;
All know that I am still the friend of those
Who sipped the wine and broke the bread
And took the sacrament of unbelief,
So we might make a merry company
Beneath the thorn tree and the oaken door.
A ghost may come; for all things ought to come,
And may perhaps at his good pleasure choose
Out of old times, a ghostly crew.
