Low back pain can arise from a variety of structures in the lower back. When symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness, and/or burning that radiates into the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot, a potential cause may be injury to one or more intervertebral disks. These disks function to stabilize the l

🧒🏫 Did you know many schoolkids suffer from spine pain due in part to how they wear their backpacks?

According to a 2025 study of 384 pre‑teens, over half routinely carried backpacks weighing more than 10–15% of their body weight, commonly recommended as the safe limit. Alarmingly, about 50% still slung their bags over one shoulder, which unevenly stresses the spine.

🔍 What did the research find?

Carrying too heavy a backpack strains muscles, tendons, ligaments, and spinal discs in the neck, mid‑ and low back, and pelvis.

For each additional kilogram of bag weight, the risk of experiencing back pain increases by up to 45%.

Even though older kids tend to carry relatively lighter bags, spine pain increases with grade level—because they wear them for longer durations.

✅ Why it matters
Spinal pain in youth can impair daily activities, posture, and future spine health. This isn’t just temporary discomfort—it may have long‑term effects if habits aren’t addressed early.

🎒 Tips to protect young spines:
1 - Keep backpack weight to 10–15% (or less!) of a child’s body weight.
2 - Encourage using both straps with snug fit and waist support.
3 - Teach kids to pack only what’s needed each day—use lockers or rotating items when possible.
4 - Take frequent breaks or switch to rolling bags when loads are heavy.

Let’s help our kids move smart and carry safely!

Think Your Low Back Pain is Just "Low Back Pain"? 🤔
Surprise—it might actually be coming from your hip! 🦴
Low back and hip pain often overlap, and many people don’t realize hip arthritis can masquerade as back pain (or vice versa). A thorough chiropractic evaluation digs deep—looking at old injuries, family history, joint movement, and even X-rays—to find the real source of your pain.

👉 1 in 5 adults over 40 has signs of hip arthritis… are you one of them?

A chiropractor is trained to figure it out—and help you move better, feel better, and avoid unnecessary procedures.

When individuals use their smartphone, they often adopt an awkward posture in which their head rests forward of their shoulders. This forward head posture, or “text neck,” places added strain on the muscles in the back of the neck, shoulders, and upper back, which can lead to musculos
