Shoveling snow is part of winter, and it can result in back pain and injuries unless you take steps to prevent them. Using a snow blower is the best way to head off back injuries from removing snow, but if you must use a shovel, use one with a curved handle or adjustable handle length in order to minimize bending, and use ergonomic lifting techniques to remove the snow. Pace yourself, take frequent breaks, and stretch periodically to avoid overdoing it. Taking the right precautions when shoveling snow will increase your odds of making it through winter without back pain.
