Studying Could Be Putting Your Child at Risk of Back Problems.

Here at Pure Chiropractic in Staines, we are seeing an increasing amount of school-age patients experiencing back and neck pain. While heavy or one-shouldered back packs, Text Neck and poor posture are common culprits, homework (or more aptly, how it’s carried out) is another major cause of spine problems within this age group.

While there will always be out-of-hours school work for your children to do, you can ensure they keep their backs safe in the process. Make sure your child has a suitable desk/ workstation to study at, with a chair that provides ample back support. Remind your child to take breaks away from the computer/ text book every 20 – 30 minutes and encourage them to walk around during these breaks. And of course, always ensure that your child drinks plenty of water during study periods. Dehydration is a major cause of inflammation which can cause painful back issues.

Simple things can make a big impact.
