🎒 Backpacks & Kids’ Health: What Parents Need to Know 🎒

It’s back-to-school time, which means your kids are carrying heavy backpacks every day. Did you know:
👉 A backpack should weigh no more than 10–15% of your child’s body weight?
👉 Wearing it too low or on one shoulder can lead to poor posture, back pain, neck strain, and even headaches?

At Yusavage Chiropractic, we see kids all the time with sore shoulders and tight necks from carrying overloaded backpacks. Over time, this stress can affect their growing spines.

✅ Tips for Healthy Backpack Use:

Use both straps — no more one-shoulder carrying

Pack the heaviest items closest to the back

Adjust straps so the backpack sits at the waist, not hanging low

Choose a bag with padded straps for comfort

If your child is already complaining of back or neck pain this school year, don’t ignore it. Early chiropractic care can help correct posture, relieve pain, and keep them healthy and active.

📞 Call us at 570-489-9300 to schedule a back-to-school spinal check today.

💡 Faster Healing Before & After Surgery with Class IV Laser Therapy 💡

At Yusavage Chiropractic, we use Class IV Laser Therapy to help our patients recover faster, with less pain and swelling.

✨ Pre-Surgery: Laser therapy stimulates circulation and cellular energy, helping prepare tissues for upcoming procedures and potentially leading to smoother recoveries.

✨ Post-Surgery: Research shows Class IV laser can reduce pain, inflammation, and scar tissue while speeding up tissue repair. In fact, a clinical pilot study found that Class IV laser therapy significantly reduced postoperative pain in patients recovering from heart surgery (Mikołajewska, BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2016).

⚡ Patients recovering from surgeries such as:

✅ Knee replacements
✅ Rotator cuff repair
✅ Neck or back surgery
✅ Hip replacement
✅ Shoulder or other orthopedic surgeries

…often report:
Less pain and swelling
Faster return to mobility
Improved comfort during recovery

Whether you’re preparing for surgery or healing afterward, laser therapy is a safe, drug-free option to support your recovery journey.

📞 Call us today at 570-489-9300 to ask how Class IV Laser Therapy can help you or a loved one.

⚠️ Graphic content warning: injury photos ahead (swipe at your own comfort).

🦶💥 25-lb weight vs. big toe… and how Class IV therapeutic laser helped.
This patient dropped a 25-pound weight on his toe—major pain, swelling, and deep bruising. We used Class IV laser (photobiomodulation) to help with pain and to support faster tissue repair.

Photo timeline:

Day 0 (injury): severe swelling, tissue damage, intense pain

Day 1: pain, tissue damage and swelling with pain

Day 7: visibly reduced bruising/swelling; walking more comfortably

Day 14: dramatic improvement in color, swelling, and tenderness

How the laser helps:

💡 Stimulates cellular energy (ATP) to accelerate repair

💧 Promotes micro-circulation to reduce swelling

🔥 Modulates inflammatory pathways to decrease pain

🧠 Non-invasive; feels warm and soothing during treatment

We combine laser with smart injury care (protect, rest, gentle mobility as appropriate). Every case is different, but these photos show what’s possible when we treat pain and support healing at the same time.

Curious if Class IV laser could help your sprain, bruise, or sports injury?
Call 570-489-9300 or message us to schedule.

Here is D.D. Palmer, founder of chiropractic!!! Well… not him, but the large bust of him at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. 😉

Origin story time: In 1895, D.D. Palmer adjusted a single stuck vertebra on Harvey Lillard, a janitor who’d lost much of his hearing after an injury. After that adjustment, Lillard reported restored hearing. So no, chiropractic wasn’t founded on back pain, it launched with a story about hearing.

Why that’s awesome: Chiropractic is fundamentally about your nervous system—the body’s master switchboard. Your spine is its armor, your joints are its hinges. When those hinges move well, the brain–body signal can travel clearer… and clear signals give your body better potential to do what it’s built to do: move, heal, focus, recover, live.

In our office, we use gentle, precise adjustments to support the nervous system. Want to see what better brain–body communication could feel like for you?

Call 570-489-9300 or message us.

History note: This doesn’t mean chiropractic claims to treat hearing loss, it's our origin story and a reminder of how important the nervous system is to your health.

🌲 Open arms. Open heart. Open to healing.

This is Jacob, one of our massage therapists.... he is a nature-loving, people-loving, and the guy everyone loves. Standing in front of a waterfall with arms wide open isn’t just a cool photo… it’s how he meets you in the treatment room: present, grounded, and ready to help your body exhale.

Why his sessions matter:

🌳Helps calm an overworked nervous system so your body can repair

🌳Eases stubborn neck/shoulder tension and low back tightness

🌳Supports recovery from training and busy work weeks

🌳Pairs beautifully with our chiropractic and laser therapy for faster progress

Expect thoughtful listening, skilled hands, and a session tailored to you—whether you want to move better, sleep deeper, or just feel like yourself again.

Ready to step into that waterfall-energy? Call 570-489-9300 or message us to book.

👶Yes!! Babies can and should be checked from birth.

The birth process (even smooth ones) can be a lot on a tiny body. In our office we use gentle, fingertip-level pressure—about what you’d use to test a ripe tomato—to assess baby’s spine, neck, and hips, and help ensure the nervous system is functioning the way it should.

Common reasons parents bring newborns & infants to be checked:

✅ To help make sure baby’s nervous system is functioning properly
✅ Head tilt or favoring one side (torticollis)
✅ Flat spots or head shape concerns (positional plagiocephaly)
✅ Difficulty latching/feeding on one side
✅ Stiffness, arching, or seeming “unsettled”
✅ Post C-section, vacuum, or forceps birth
✅ Limited neck motion (won’t turn one way easily-possible torticollis)
✅ Periods of excessive fussiness/discomfort relatives notice after birth

What a baby visit looks like here:

🤲 A calm exam and very light, comfortable corrections tailored for infants.
🩺 We screen for red flags and we are willing to work aside your pediatrician.
🧠 Goal: restore comfortable motion, support feeding and sleep positions, and help baby relax.

If you’re curious whether an infant check is right for your family, call 570-489-9300 or message us. We’re happy to answer questions, walk you through the process, and make sure your little one is comfy from the start.

Disclaimer: Chiropractic care is not a substitute for pediatric medical care. If anything isn’t appropriate for chiropractic, we’ll refer you to your pediatric provider.

Stiff Neck? Try These Quick Stretches!

Whether you’re a parent running between activities, an athlete grinding through practices, or just sitting at a desk too long — neck stiffness can sneak up fast. Here are 3 quick stretches you can do anywhere:

1️⃣ Side Neck Stretch – Gently tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear toward your shoulder. Hold 20–30 seconds each side.
2️⃣ Chin Tucks – Sit tall, tuck your chin straight back (like making a “double chin”), hold 5 seconds, repeat 10x.
3️⃣ Neck Rotations – Slowly turn your head left to right, like saying “no,” holding each side for 10 seconds.

👉 These help loosen tight muscles and improve flexibility.
👉 If stiffness is constant or comes with headaches, shoulder tension, or limited movement, it may be time for more than just stretches.

At Yusavage Chiropractic, we combine:
✅ Chiropractic care to restore proper movement
✅ Laser therapy to decrease inflammation and speed recovery
✅ Massage therapy to relax tight muscles

📞 Call us at 570-489-9300 if neck pain is slowing you down — we’ll help you move freely again!

⚠️ Disclaimer: Perform these stretches at your own risk. Always check with your doctor or healthcare provider to ensure these movements are safe and specific for your condition.
