Question
How many kids have come to you with spine, shoulder, or neck injuries from bookbags& backpacks?

Answer
Sarah,

Thanks for the question.

While I cannot give you an exact number, I can say that this is a common problem in our world today.  A lot of heavy school books and improperly designed and worn backpacks lead to shoulder, back and neck strain and dysfunction. Most of them just require minimal treatment to relieve and resolve the problems, but some can develop lasting problems because of the backpacks.  


I hope this helps.
