Chiropractic care can benefit students of all ages as they return to school. The physical demands of carrying heavy backpacks, sitting for long periods, and engaging in various school activities can take a toll on the spine and musculoskeletal health.

Our practice can help students maintain proper spinal alignment, alleviate discomfort, and promote overall well-being. At True Wellness Chiropractic in Fort Wayne, IN, we care about our patients' spine and back health. We have included some useful chiropractic tips for you before the new school year starts in the article below.

Choose the Right Backpack 

Make sure to invest in a high-quality backpack. A good bag should have wide and cushioned straps. Finding a backpack with a third strap in the middle is also a good idea. Ensure your child wears the backpack correctly.

Our chiropractors can guide proper backpack ergonomics to prevent strain and injury. We can advise choosing a backpack that distributes weight and teach you how to wear it correctly to avoid excessive stress on the spine.

Keep the Proper Posture

Proper posture is necessary if you sit at a desk or computer all day. Our chiropractors can assess and address poor posture habits that may develop from sitting at desks or using electronic devices for extended periods. Proper spinal alignment reduces back, neck, and shoulder strain.

Get Pediatric Care Before School

Getting pediatric chiropractic care before school starts can proactively support your child's overall health and well-being as they return to the classroom. Chiropractic care for children focuses on maintaining proper spinal alignment, promoting optimal nervous system function, and addressing any musculoskeletal issues that may arise.

Our pediatric chiropractors can help your children in many ways, from boosting immunity to promoting healthy sleep. This care is important for a successful school year.
