As kids head back to school, backpack safety is key to preventing back strain and supporting healthy spine development. To protect growing spines, choose backpacks with wide, padded straps, encourage wearing both straps evenly, and keep the load under 10-15% of your child’s body weight. At Orthopedic Associates of Long Island, our spine specialists offer thorough evaluations and personalized care for kids experiencing pain or posture concerns from backpack use or other issues. If your child shows signs of discomfort or scoliosis, we're here to provide expert diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation to keep their spine healthy and strong all year long.
