Loved spending my morning at Edge Fitness Club Washington Twp meeting fellow members.

I'm here working out at the gym 5–6 times a week, so I know the rigors we put our bodies through on a daily basis. It felt good to give some free 5-minute massages today to help everyone stay mobile and injury-free.

If we didn't get a chance to chat, come say hi next time you see me on the floor! I'll be back with my table giving more massages and answering more questions on March 14!

South Jersey is looking like a winter wonderland, but your spine might feel more like a frozen tundra! 🥶 Shoveling snow is one of the most common causes of acute low back pain we see this time of year.

When you lift heavy snow and twist, you create "interference" in your nervous system. At Hershman Chiropractic, our goal is to remove that interference and restore your body’s God-given healing power. Whether we use the precision of our manual adjusting or the gentle Activator Method, we’ll get you back to enjoying the view instead of icing your back!

Before you grab that shovel again, follow these steps to protect your discs! 👇

🏋️ The Movement: The "Safe-Shovel" Biomechanic

Setup: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Choose a shovel with a curved handle if possible to reduce leaning.

Instructions:

1. Hinge, Don't Curve: Bend at your hips and knees, keeping your back flat (like a squat). Never "C-curve" your spine to reach the ground.

2. Keep it Close: Keep the shovel blade as close to your body as possible when lifting.

3. The "No-Twist" Rule: Move your feet to face the direction you are throwing the snow. Never keep your feet planted and twist your torso to the side—this is how disc herniations happen!

4. Push, Don’t Lift: Whenever possible, push the snow to the edge of the driveway instead of lifting it.

Scientific Anchor: According to the Mayo Clinic: "To protect your back, push snow instead of lifting it. If you must lift, squat with your legs apart, knees bent and back straight. Lift with your legs. Don't bend at the waist." [Source: Mayo Clinic, "Safe Snow Shoveling"]

The "Flynn" Factor: Flynn is staying cozy inside the office today, but he’s ready to offer a "good boy" tail wag to anyone brave enough to clear their walk! 🐾

Call to Action: Sore after the storm? Don't wait for the pain to "freeze" up! Call our office today at (856) 728-0770 or click the link in our bio to book your post-snow adjustment!

It's the unofficial start to Summer, the weather is great, and you get to enjoy a day off... but please don't forget the reason we have the freedoms we enjoy. Many great men and women have died to ensure your right to spend this weekend however you'd like. Remember them.

Blessings come in all shapes and sizes. Some are straight-forward gifts that people like to call luck, and some are disguised as challenges that we are meant to overcome. However your blessings have arrived, today is an opportunity to give thanks. Give thanks to the people in your life who have shared in your joy and give thanks to the people in your life who have supported you during your challenges.

I am thankful for you, my patients, for your continued belief in me to help you along your path of health and wellness.
