Winter Conditions Increase

Back & Neck Pain

  ITS THE SEASON TO WATCH YOUR BACK

     Now that the seasons have changed and winter has arrived (officially Dec. 21st), the snow and icy conditions are reason for caution in South Dakota. We are not referring just to driving. We are talking about your back and neck.

     Don’t let the cold and wind blow down your neck. When cold air hits your neck the muscles immediately react by tightening. Muscles that are stiff and sore become even worse causing &/or increasing headaches. A simple way to avoid this is to have a scarf ready to keep your neck warm.

     Low back pain is very common during the holidays and throughout the wintertime; with cold air, snow shoveling and slipping on ice being primary reasons many people end up in pain.  All it takes is a slip on the ice even without actually falling.  A tweak of your back and you’re in pain.   Until you get your back muscles working correctly your back pain will continue to bother you.  The winter  won’t be to enjoyable if your grimacing every time you move because your back hurts.
