Chiropractic Care for Back to School Success

/in /by

As we head into a new academic year, parents everywhere are preparing for the familiar hustle and bustle that back to school brings.

Amidst the excitement, it’s crucial to consider the physical health of our kids as they prepare for another year of studies, sports and social activities.

School stress, heavy backpacks, and hours spent sitting at desks, school buses etc, can take a toll on your child’s spine.

Consulting a Chiropractic care can make a real difference. Chiropractic care may help with the following:

  • Posture correction: Less slouching and forward head posture due to hours spent slumped over books and screens.
  • Incorrect fitting backpacks: Taking the weight and strain off their shoulders.
  • Focus and concentration: A healthy spine = a happy brain.
  • Immune boost: Less stress, fewer sick days.

Back to school checklist:

  • Consult an ACA chiropractor.
  • Wear your backpack over both shoulders and secure the waist and chest straps.
  • Only pack essential items, and pack the heaviest items closest to the spine.
  • Pack a healthy and nutritious lunch and snacks.
  • Try and reduce your screen time where possible.
  • Get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. In the classroom, sit with your shoulders back and relaxed, with both feet on the floor
