How can you avoid hurting your back when you shovel snow this winter? The lower back is one of the hardest working areas in your body. Do you realize that you use your lower back for basically every activity, from sitting at your desk at work, to driving a car, to even holding a cup of water? Now, as the colder weather rolls in throughout much of North America, you should be aware that one wintertime activity -- shoveling snow -- is a very common cause of lower back injury.
