Is Your Child’s Backpack Hurting Their Back?
Backpacks & Backs: Keeping Kids Safe This School Year
As kids head back to class, their backpacks become a daily essential—but heavy or poorly worn bags can put real stress on their growing spines.
At Bellomo Family Chiropractic, we want to help you protect your child’s posture and comfort all year long. Here are a few chiropractor-approved tips for a pain-free, posture-strong school year to keep in mind:
✅ Use both shoulder straps
✅ Keep backpack weight under 10–15% of body weight
✅ Choose packs with padded straps and compartments
✅ Adjust the straps so the pack sits high, not low
✅ Teach kids to lift with their legs—not their backs
Look out for red flags like:
☑️ Slouching or leaning
☑️ Shoulder or neck pain
☑️ Complaints of backaches or fatigue
