Backpack Safety?

Backpack safety is not about making sure your child's backpack fits properly to prevent neck or back pain.

The moment your child leaves your site their going to unstrap and sling that backpack every which way but lose.

I know because we have 5 children and they never listened to us about wearing it properly and they did just fine. They also benefited from regular chiropractic checkups to make sure they had a healthy spine and nervous system to adapt to the physical, chemical and emotional stress of everyday life.

We were more concerned about the torque and tension the heavy backpack placed on our child's brain-stem and spinal cord versus the muscles of their back and neck because we knew that an uncorrected problem over time could alter body function.

What's alarming is that parents may not realize that their child may already have an underlying spinal problem before the child started carrying a backpack.

We don't ask the parents in our office to bring in their child's backpack so we may fit it properly. We ask the parent to bring in their child to make sure their body is working properly and able to adapt to all the stresses they put upon it everyday.

It's not about the backpack its about their life. Please get your child checked.
