It’s that time of year again in Sandy Springs: back
to school! And so
are the backpacks. There is always a mild debate
about just how harmful (or not!) back packs are back pain in young people. There’s always discussion about
how the kids are to get all their stuff needed for
homework to and from from home if not in a backpack. There’s a quandary for you! Ban homework?!

older folks) who use backpacks and find themselves experiencing Sandy Springs
back pain.

pain!
How Much Back Pain Do Kids Get? Boys Vs. Girls.
The influence of Sandy Springs backpacks on young
people’s back pain incidence is real. There
is a higher occurrence of Sandy Springs low back pain when taking
backpacks likely because of the increased forces in
the spinal discs. (1) One Brazilian study shows that 55.7%
of 5th to 8th graders report back pain. The way they carry the backpack is pointed to as
being a factor. (2) Another study done in Italy documented
that more than 60% of school kids 6 to 19 years of age in one
study reported back pain. Girls who used
backpacks stated that having more severe pain and more
frequent back pain than boys. (3) Is this type of statistic about girls
having more intense back pain and more frequent back pain because
they carry more stuff than boys? No. It seems
that the longer they cart the backpacks around, the
more back pain they have. This may be thanks to
anatomical, physiological and/or environmental differences between boys and
girls. That makes another great topic for the next backpack/back
pain study! (3) Cross Chiropractic Center treats adolescents with back pain be it due to
backpack carrying or other causes with gentle, effective chiropractic care incorporating Cox Technic.
