Snow Shoveling Brings Aches & Pains Snow shoveling can be a pain in the neck, as well as a pain in the shoulders, wrists, knees and back. This chore entails twisting, reaching, bending, and lifting, often resulting in a new or recurring injury to a person’s joints. With a little planning and preparation, aches and pains can be minimized. |
