Teenager Going To School

Why Sitting in a Chair During the School Year Can Hurt Your Child's Back

Now that the school year has started, your child will have to sit in a chair for extended periods of time, as well as carrying heavy backpacks around all year. These two activities present many physical detriments that can hurt your child's body if they aren't addressed immediately. Shoulder pain, back pain, and neck pain are some common occurrences of having to perform these activities daily in school. West Omaha Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic in Plaza Omaha, NE is here to inform you how these activities can hurt your child over the school year and why seeking a professional chiropractor should be your choice to help alleviate these physical symptoms.

Shoulder Pain From Carrying Backpacks

Heavy backpacks can cause back pain for students who have to carry them around for multiple hours a day. Tell your child to lighten their load when convenient to avoid exacerbating any existing back pain.

Back Pain From Sitting All Day

Students are required to sit at their desks for extended periods of time. This can cause back pain for many. Be sure to remind them to stretch when appropriate to avoid back issues.

Neck Pain From Sitting

Another problem that students face while sitting for hours on end a day is neck pain. They are forced to look down at their study materials continuously which can cause strain on their necks.
