It’s coming close to the time of year when ice forms. Slipping on ice can cause a herniated disc and/or a sprain/strain. Before walking on your driveway, look carefully for ice, especially for black ice. Here are some things to do to reduce your risk of slipping:

• Wear sturdy boots
• Use de-icing products
• Take slow steps 
• Shovel your driveway

If you have slipped on ice and are experiencing severe back pain, call William Capicotto today at (716) 881-0382.
