While last week’s topic of the week was about snow shoveling, I didn’t go over breaking up ice. Several patients came in this week out of alignment from trying to remove ice from their driveway, steps, and sidewalks. One tip is to pick up a ice chopper/scraper specially designed for this work. They have a long handle made from either wood or steel with a small wedge tip that will chop ice from the top or will get under the ice and scrape it up from the sidewalk. The are very useful and are carried at your local hardware store.
