Common Student Practices & Their Consequences
If you’re a student, your life is filled with stress, poor posture, and heavy-weighted backpacks that ensure that your back is misaligned and ready to cause you problems in the future. For example, a misalignment of your spine will cause pain in your lower back and neck, and also cause sciatica by putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic therapy would eliminate many of these problems, and others, in a natural and drug-free manner; the results of Natural Way Chiropractic’s therapy won’t just be as good as conventional methods, but will exceed your expectations for pain-relief and healing every time!
- Overloaded Backpack – having too many books in your backpack has been shown to distort the natural curves in your back, causing more muscle strain and irritation to the joints in your spine and rib cage.
- Improper Packing – you should only be carrying 10 to 15 percent of your body weight in your backpack. This destructive habit causes heavy compression on the spinal discs and abnormally increases your spine’s natural curvature.
- Carrying Backpack Incorrectly – the common one-shoulder method of carrying your back pulls on your shoulders and exacerbates any existing back problems.
