Do you have perfect posture?🐾
It’s back to school month and time to schedule your family spinal check ups.
Did you know that a British study found that one child in 10 show signs of that problems before puberty!
At the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America MRI scans of 154 10 year-olds showed 14 children had significant disc degeneration on their MRI scan yet never reported any back pain.
As kids head back to school, their posture matters more than ever.
Long hours sitting in class, heavy backpacks, and extra screen time can put a lot of stress on a growing spine, leading to aches now and bigger problems later.
Proper posture helps kids:
• Protect their growing bones, joints, and muscles
• Focus better and feel more confident
• Reduce headaches, neck, and back pain now and in the future.
👉 Back-to-school tip:
Schedule a spinal/posture check-up as part of your child’s yearly health routine. Early checks can spot issues like scoliosis and postural imbalances before they cause pain or affect sports and daily activities.
🎒 Watch for signs such as:
• One shoulder higher than the other
• Slouching or “text neck”
• Complaints of back or neck pain after school or screen time.
Healthy spines = happier, more active kids.
