Weekend plans?
Getting adjustment today?

We’re here today! Don’t forget to get your adjustment in before we wrap up the week.

Today’s reminder: taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated.

Move your body. Drink your water. Get some rest. Take a breath. Get adjusted. And keep showing up for yourself.

Small choices, done consistently, can make a big difference.

Why do I still love doing this every day?

Because after all these years, I still get to watch people change.

Move better. Feel stronger. Get back to doing the things they love. And sometimes, I get to care for several generations of the same family.

That never gets old.

I love what I do. And I’m grateful for every person who has trusted me to be a part of their health journey.

🎒 One week into school… how is that backpack looking now?

The first day of school is one thing. But a week later, the folders are full, the books have been added, the water bottle is packed, sports gear is coming along…and suddenly that backpack is a whole lot heavier.

And remember kids aren’t just little adults. They’re growing.

Their bones, muscles, joints, posture, coordination, and nervous system are all developing as their bodies adapt to new demands every day.

Add in:
🎒 A heavy or poorly fitted backpack
🪑 Hours of sitting at school
📱 Screen and homework time
⚽ Sports practices and games
📈 Growth spurts
😴 Changes in sleep and routine

…and that can be a lot for a growing body to handle.

For our young athletes, it matters even more. Posture, balance, mobility, coordination, and how the body moves all play a role in athletic performance. Small changes in the way a child carries their backpack or holds their body throughout the day can add up when they’re also running, jumping, throwing, dancing, tumbling, or training several days a week.

A few things parents can check this weekend:

🎒 Keep the backpack around 10–15% of your child’s body weight
🎒 Use both shoulder straps
🎒 Keep the backpack snug and close to the body
🎒 Put heavier items closest to the back
🎒 Clean it out regularly those little extras add up!

And most importantly, pay attention to your child. Complaints of neck or back discomfort, headaches, shoulder tension, changes in posture, or soreness after school or sports are worth paying attention to.

At The Lakeland Chiropractor, we love helping families understand how their kids are growing, moving, and adapting.

📲 Have a student or young athlete at home? Ask us about a posture and backpack screening.

Because a growing body deserves a strong foundation.

Apparently, our new patient marketing strategy has gotten a little aggressive.

Just kidding… referrals are still our favorite way to meet new patients.

Back to school routines are officially in full swing.

Don’t forget to make your nervous system part of the routine, too.

Time to add a little color back into your week.

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL! 🍎

One of us is ready for the first day.

The other one apparently needs to repeat orientation. 😂

We may not have the whole “first day of school picture” thing figured out, but taking care of our patients? That we’ve got. 😉

Wishing all of our students, teachers and families an AMAZING school year! 📚✏️💙

Drop those first-day-of-school pictures below! We want to see them!
