Textbook Scanning

Did you know? A study conducted at  Auburn University reported that book bags that are too heavy for their wearers may threaten developing spines. Of the children who participated in the study, over half suffered from muscle soreness and back pain, while others suffered from numbness and shoulder pain.

Give your elementary, high school or college student the gift of optimal optimal neck, back and spinal health!

Initially the back pain due to strain of back muscles could be of short duration, which can be resolved with rest and reduced activity. Apart from straining the muscles of the back, neck and shoulder, carrying heavy backpacks prevents proper development of still-forming bones and muscles in children. Carrying heavy weight can put unnatural heavy stress on the young vertebral column and rib cage. Prevent distortion of the natural curve of the middle and lower back as otherwise it can lead to chronic pain and scoliosis.
