Tips to Shovel Snow with Less Back Pain: Especially if You Have Scoliosis

In the Winter, shoveling snow is a huge cause of back pain for those who live in an area where snow falls consistently. This is even more increased in those with scoliosis and other spinal deformities.
There are many reasons for this increase in back pain with shoveling snow, but one of the big ones is that it is done incorrectly. The second reason is that the muscles aren't being strengthened and used in this way prior to doing the shoveling.
This video gives ideas on how to reduce back pain while shoveling snow. The snow has to be shoveled, so why not do it in a way that reduces your chance of having back pain later in the day.
One big tip is to get your muscles stronger prior to shoveling. This helps to protect the back and will improve your ability to perform the task.
