It’s snowing on a cold day; winter has officially arrived with a heavy snowfall. In previous years, I only reminded spine patients in Northwest China to pay attention to the slippery road in snowy days, and to go out “with the right posture” to avoid slipping and aggravating the disease, but this year, my task is even more extensive – because it is snowing in the south too! It’s snowing in Chengdu, so I guess it’s going to snow in Shenzhen soon! I’m just kidding! Southerners and Northerners are the same; snowy days and slippery roads to learn to walk, in order to protect our spine from being “walking posture” injury. Of course; I’m not necessarily talking about falls and injuries, but more importantly, the snowy road slippery “road posture” damage to the knees and lumbar vertebrae and even the spine Chest up and stride – walking in the snow will fall! This kind of professional military posture walking is not necessary, step steadily on one step, and then lift your foot to take the second step; knees slightly bent, ready to deal with flash slip; perhaps the tension of the muscles will make you in the long distance after walking in the snow the second day of pain, but can protect your spine bones not to be injured; snowy days, walking need to be careful, so as to avoid slipping, in order to prevent slipping and falling, what should we do? The road surface with soft snow is more anti-slip! Walking in the field as much as possible to step on the thick snow, avoid ice floes and water places, which can increase the forward friction of the soles and the ground, reducing the possibility of falling. Clean up and then enter the house from the outdoor snow into the supermarket, bank and other tile floor, timely clean up the soles of the snow, or in front of the door on the foot pad to remove the clean and then stride into the big step, so as to avoid slippery snow and ice lead to sprain lumbar spine. Walking on foot is the safest rainy and snowy days as little as possible to ride electric cars and bicycles, because the vehicle braking system slippery road failure, dangerous, try to choose to walk or public transportation, to reduce the possible dangers. See the road before action As the road is covered with snow, many dangerous places will be covered, sudden deep and shallow road surface is easy to flash to the waist, so go out as far as possible to walk on the crosswalk, pay attention to the low-lying places, avoid the roadside piles, to prevent tripping and poking by the dangerous objects in the snow. No major events do not go out Snow days to minimize outdoor activities: grocery shopping can be a one-time purchase of some more, not to enjoy the snow for the purpose of travel in the snow, are please delete it in the travel plan. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay more attention to the things that can not go out, do not go out, must travel, accompanied by family members. Of course, if the snow and ice scared to go out to work, that is not the northeast provinces of friends have no way to live la? If you have to go out, first choose good abrasion resistance, non-slip, soft and good shoes, can be effective anti-slip, such as snow boots, non-slip shoes, etc.; up and down the steps to grasp the center of gravity of the body in order to keep the body balanced; steps should be small and keep a fixed pace, walking speed slowed down. Stretch out your hands to maintain balance, of course, but also with gloves Oh; if you encounter more slippery sections, you can find some fixed objects, hand-held, to increase stability, such as up and down overpasses and so on. Finally, the old saying: usually strengthen the exercise, strong protection of the bones of the spine of those muscle groups, encountered emergency emergencies, you will be able to turn the danger into success! Be careful when you go out in the snow and slippery roads!
