Never forget!!!

Please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives on 9/11 - now 24 years ago.

Also remember those who showed us what heroism looks.

Make it a great day!

FIRST WEEK DONE!!! ✅

Can you believe that the first week of school is behind us?

By now the students have been given their books and have loaded up their backpacks with folders and accessories.

Here’s a few tips to help keep their spine healthy throughout the school year:

- ALWAYS wear BOTH straps over the shoulders to equalize the weight. Wearing it over just 1 shoulder can stress the muscles and potentially contribute to scoliosis- a lateral curvature of the spine.
- Keep the weight of the backpack at no more than 10% of the child’s body weight. Weigh them WITH and WITHOUT the backpack. You will be amazed at how heavy some of these may get.
- ADUST the straps so the backpack sits comfortably over the shoulders and the body of the backpack sits above the belt. - Check your child’s posture from the side and if they are leaning forward to balance the weight then you need to adjust straps better.
- Some backpacks come with a strap that goes around the waist and this can also help to reduce strain on the spine.

*Do this check TODAY and then periodically as we all know these backpacks fill up with “stuff” that isn’t always necessary.

Be sure and share this so we can keep these young spines healthy as they are growing so fast.

Make it a great day!

TRAFFIC ALERT:

The construction project on West 1st. St. for the most part has been very smooth this summer.

The City of Oswego has posted advanced notice that the Utica St. bridge will be CLOSED from Monday August 25, 2025 through Wednesday September 3, 2025 in order to tie in water lines as that project winds down.

ALL businesses will be open and be accessible!!

Please plan ahead to allow enough time to follow the detour signs or plan an alternative route to get to our office.

Again, the interruption from this project has been minimal so far and we appreciate everyone’s patience in this final phase.

We’ll keep you updated on any changes.

Make it a great day!

Adequate sleep is a key component to good health.

Chiropractic adjustments are key to sleep quality as an adjustment reduces nerve irritation allowing your body to relax muscles and reduce tension throughout the body.

We’re always here to help!
