As parents, we are naturally concerned about the health and well-being of our children. We take them to doctors when they are not feeling well and do our best to prevent illnesses. One hidden danger for our school age children is the back pack they carry to and from school each day. Many backpacks weigh in excess of 50 pounds and can potentially cause injuries to our child’s back, neck and shoulders.
If you spot any or all of these warning signs, a change needs to be made. If your child is complaining of back, neck or shoulder pain, or if they are experiencing numbness or weakness, contacting a health care professional is recommended.
Chiropractic Physicians are experts in identifying and treating conditions and injuries associated with the spine and extremities, and injuries or damage associated with heavy backpacks. Give our office and call today and request a no-charge consultation to have your child’s spine evaluated by one of our highly skilled Doctors of Chiropractic. By evaluating your child’s spine, we can assess the current situation and discuss any future complications that may arise. More importantly, we can make recommendations on ways to alleviate pain and avoid injury. You can reach us at (609) 426-1700 or visit us on the web at www.washingtonwellnesscenter.com.
