Snow Duty

Studies reveal a noticeable rise in emergency room visits during the winter months. This increase is linked to winter chores like shoveling snow, which often leads to low back pain as well as injuries to the back, neck, shoulders, and wrists. The repetitive motions of bending, twisting, and lifting can take a serious toll on your muscles and joints, leading to sprains, herniated discs, or chronic discomfort. This month’s newsletter explores how combined care can alleviate pain, strengthen your body, and help prevent future injuries—so you can take on winter chores safely and stay injury-free.
