Using proper techniques and incorporating chiropractic care into your routine can help you stay healthy and pain-free all winter long. Proper Shoveling Techniques • Warm Up FirstTreat snow shoveling like exercise. Take 5–10 minutes to warm up with light stretches or a brisk walk to loosen your muscles and prepare your body for physical activity.

  3. Use the Right EquipmentChoose a lightweight, ergonomic shovel to reduce strain on your back. A curved handle can help you maintain proper posture while shoveling. • Lift with Your LegsAlways bend at your knees, not your waist. Keep the shovel close to your body, tighten your core, and use your legs to lift heavy snow. Avoid twisting your torso to throw the snow; instead, pivot your feet. • Push, Don’t LiftWhen possible, push the snow to the side instead of lifting it. This reduces the load on your spine and minimizes the risk of injury.
