We’ll give your whole family complete care. Spinal health maintenance should begin in childhood. And with that in mind, Align Chiropractic takes care of your little ones, too. We care for problems common to fast-growing children, like curvature of the spine (scoliosis) or pigeon toeing. Often these as well as other symptoms and “growing pains” are really signs of joint alignment problems brought on by rapid or uneven growth. We provide complete and gentle relief from injuries common to the childhood years. And most importantly, we give you a prevention and maintenance plan for your child’s spine so it grows strong and healthy.

Don’t let winter be a pain in the back !

Snow may be fun for the kids, and it's beautiful to look at, but it can wreak havoc on the backs of people who are shoveling their driveways and walkways. A shovelful of snow weighs 5-7 pounds, which means that people can be lifting several hundred pounds as they clear their driveways or sidewalks on a snowy day.

The Ontario Chiropractic Association does a public education media campaign every year at this time to remind people to take care of their backs as they are out shoveling snow. It's called 'Lift Light, Shovel Right'.
Here are some tips to keep you safe while shoveling:

1. Warm-up. Before beginning any snow removal, warm-up for five to ten minutes to get the joints moving and increase blood circulation. A good warm-up should include stretches for the back, shoulders, arms and legs. This will ensure that your body is ready for action.

2. Don’t let the snow pile up. Removing small amounts of snow on a frequent basis is less strenuous in
the long run.

3. Pick the right shovel. Use a lightweight push-style shovel. If you use a metal shovel, spray it with
Teflon first so snow won’t stick.

4. Push, don’t throw. Push the snow to one side and avoid throwing it as much as possible. If you have
to throw, avoid twisting and turning – position yourself to throw straight at the snow pile.

5. Bend your knees. Use your knees, leg and arm muscles to do the pushing and lifting while keeping
your back straight.

6. Take a break. If you feel tired or short of breath, stop and take a rest. Stop shoveling immediately if
you feel chest or back pain.

Shoveling snow is one of those necessary evils of living in a winter wonderland! Make sure that you have fun in the snow, drive safe and remember to Lift Light and Shovel Right! For more information on the OCA's media campaign check out www.chiropractic.on.ca.

Happy Snow Day!
