Chiropractic & Back to School

The importance of including chiropractic care in your child's back to school checklist

Back to school can be exciting and stressful at the same time. While chiropractic care may not be top of mind for most parents during this busy period, it should most certainly be on your preparation list of items to ensure a successful start to the school year! Here are a few key reasons why chiropractic is important during this time. 

Changing Ergonomics

Backpacks are usually too heavy, and when worn improperly they can cause stress and misalignment in the spines of young people. Chiropractic care can help detect and correct spinal problems before they cause significant pain and dysfunction from repetitive loading of the spine due to backpack ergonomics. In addition, your chiropractor can give you advice on proper backpack ergonomics, to minimize stress on the spine moving forward.

Less Stress = More Focus

When school begins, kids are bombarded with stressful stimuli that can be overwhelming at times. New environments, packed schedules, homework, activities with friends, sports and social obligations can all make for stressful days. Chiropractic care helps by encouraging a relaxed nervous system, reducing stress and keeping the mind calm and more focused during busy times. By mitigating the effects of stress, school performance increases, which further calms the mind and body.

A Healthy Spine and Nervous System Means More Energy!

When your child’s spine is properly aligned, their nervous system functions more efficiently, conserving energy and allowing them to handle their tasks with more ease. While back to school time is always going to be busy, having an efficiently run nervous system can make the difference between burnout and overcoming obstacles successfully.
