Winter Time Advice from Dr. John,
Your Warrensburg Missouri Chiropractor!
It's that time of year again. The leaves are falling, the cold winds are blowing and everyone is getting ready for winter. Snow will be here soon, and we may all be shoveling snow once again. To try to avoid the "winter pains" here is some good advise:
Tips to Avoid Winter Back Injuries:
If possible, wait until the afternoon to shovel. Many injuries occur in the morning when there is increased fluid pressure in the disc.
Lift smaller loads of snow, rather than heavy shovelfuls.
Bend your knees and lift with your legs rather than with your back.
Because the spine cannot tolerate twisting as well as it can other movements, it is important to avoid excessive twisting and forward bending. Instead, you should bend your knees and keep your back as straight as possible so you are lifting with your legs. Step in the direction in which you are throwing the snow to prevent the low back from twisting.
Use a shovel with a shaft that lets you keep your back straight while lifting. A short shaft will cause you to bend more to lift the load. Using a shovel that's too long makes the weight at the end heavier.
Be sure to take frequent breaks when shoveling. Stand up straight and walk around periodically to extend the lower back. Standing extension exercises will help reverse the excessive forward bending that occurs while shoveling. To do a standing extension stretch stand straight and tall, place your hands toward the back of your hips and bend backward slightly for several seconds.
With proper precautions and the correct snow-shoveling technique, injuries to the shoulders and lower back can be avoided.
