There are multiple reasons that can cause back pain during snow season, below are some of them:
• muscles are more easily injured if there are cold, tight
• muscular back pain and disc injuries can be caused by twisting and bending while shoveling
• falls on snow and ice can cause pain, bruises and fractures of the bones.
There are only two methods to avoid snow shoveling back pain,
• buy a snow blower (can still cause back pain if not used properly)
• hire someone to shovel for you.
If you are one of the unfortunate who must shovel, prepare yourself first.
• always perform warm-up stretching exercises
• dress warmly in layers, to keep those muscles warm
• use a ergonomically correct shovel
• wear boots with nonskid traction bottoms
• lift only what you are capable of lifting, do not overuse your muscles
• lift with proper technique (lift with your legs, turn your whole body and toss the snow)
• take breaks often
If all of these suggestions fail, the answer is obvious move to Florida, where you can get back pain from fun warm weather activities like golf or fishing!
