Back-to-School: Why It’s a Great Time for a Kids’ Chiropractic Check-up
The start of a new school year is the perfect time to set your child up for success—both in the classroom and in their overall health. Backpacks, new routines, and long hours at desks can all place extra stress on a growing child’s spine and nervous system. A simple wellness check-up can help your child feel their best and stay on track this school year.
Why kids benefit from chiropractic care at back-to-school time:
Better posture: Heavy backpacks and hours of sitting can affect your child’s posture, which may lead to back or neck discomfort.
Immune system support: Chiropractic adjustments help keep the nervous system balanced, which can positively impact immune function—important during the school year!
Improved focus and energy: Gentle adjustments can relieve tension and help your child feel more comfortable, supporting better sleep and concentration in class.
Early detection: Regular wellness visits help spot small misalignments or issues before they become bigger problems.
Simple backpack posture tips:
Keep backpacks no heavier than 10-15% of your child’s body weight.
Use both straps (no single-shoulder carrying).
Adjust the straps so the backpack sits snugly on the upper back.
Pack heavier items closest to the spine for better balance.
