Stay Safe & Back-Pain-Free This Winter

Shovelling snow is a leading cause of seasonal back injuries. Dr. Reena Pathak, DC (Clinic Director at Hands On Health Windsor) shares her essential chiropractic tips to keep your spine safe this season.

1. Don’t Let it Pile Up Shovel frequently during a storm. Moving smaller amounts often is much easier on your spine than tackling one massive, heavy cleanup.

2. Pick the Right Tool Use a lightweight, pusher-type shovel.

Pro Tip: Spray metal shovels with cooking spray so the snow slides right off!

3. Push, Don’t Throw Push the snow to the side whenever possible. Avoid sudden twisting or throwing movements—these are the top causes of disc injuries.

4. The "Power Stance" If you must lift, bend your knees and use your leg muscles. Keep your back straight and the load close to your body.

5. Warm Up First Treat shovelling like a workout. Do a 10–15 minute walk or light stretch to prep your muscles before heading out.

6. Listen to Your Body Take breaks. If you feel shortness of breath, chest pain, or back pain, stop immediately.

🏥 Why Maintenance Matters

Prevention is the best tool. Cold weather and repetitive motion can cause "Yard Work Blues."

Regular chiropractic adjustments and proper posture ensure your body is resilient enough to handle the winter workload.

As Dr. Reena says, "Health care is most effective when there is a partnership between a patient and their health care provider."

Remember: Push, don't twist!

Let's Talk Safety. Concerns about neck manipulation and stroke are common. Large-scale studies, including one in Spine, have repeatedly found that a visit to a chiropractor is no more associated with an increased risk of stroke than a visit to a primary care physician. We perform thorough screenings to ensure safety and use techniques appropriate for your specific needs.

With a December snow storm on its way - and over 100 active weather alerts issued for Ontario - we want to help you avoid pain or injury while clearing the snow so you can enjoy your holidays.

So, if you don’t have access to a snow blower this week, follow these tips!

1. Push the snow to one side and avoid throwing it. If you must throw it, avoid twisting. Position yourself to throw straight at the snow pile.

2. Lift with your knees and use your leg and arm muscles to do the pushing and lifting while keeping your back straight.


3. Be careful on icy walkways and slippery surfaces. Use ice melt product, winter boots and ensure you have a good footing.


4. Dehydration isn’t just a summer issue! Drink plenty of water during strenuous winter activities like snow shovelling.

If you experience pain while shovelling snow, consult a chiropractor. They are your local spine, muscle, and joint experts!
