Not ready for the snow
This week, the best Charlotte chiropractic clinics will be full of people who were not ready for the heavy snow and ice. It is one thing to run to the store at the last minute to get food and supplies for an upcoming storm. However, it is a rare individual who has spent the last couple of months lifting weight and exercising to get physically ready for shoveling snow and breaking up ice. Nope, most of us spent most of the time hoping for a mild winter, and when the snow hits the sidewalks, we generally get after it, out of shape for the rigors it brings. Here is a tip… consider best Charlotte chiropractic care for pain relief and treatment. Winter weather and snow demands that we take the snow shovel out and find our driveway. Whenever there is a major snowstorm, the top chiropractors get ready to help the countless number of patients who have overextended their abilities on the driveways and sidewalks of our fair city. Quite often, this includes many who have spent two or three days’ worth of shoveling as they helped neighbors, and others who are physically unable to shovel their own walkways. This does not even include those who are injured in slips and falls. We expect to see lots of sore shoulders, hips, knees, and backs. There will be a logjam of injured individuals in emergency rooms and chiropractic offices all over the region. To help you avoid overexerting yourself, consider the following tips:
Avoiding injury when shoveling snow:
- Walk, bend, and stretch your muscles at least 30 minutes before going out to shovel.
- Shoveling snow is just as strenuous and demanding as weight training and cardio exercise. Take appropriate breaks and do not over exert yourself.
- When shoveling, be sure to Keep you back straight. Use your hips and knees to lift and turn. Do not twist and turn with your back.
