Your Oviedo chiropractor and the OIWC staff hope you and your family had a wonderful summer. Now that the summer months are in the rear view and the autumn months are on the horizon, going back to school is quickly approaching. Backpacks are an essential back to school item but can be a source of pain. Choosing the correct backpack and learning proper ergonomics is vital in giving our children an opportunity to learn without unnecessary discomfort. Check out our blog here to learn how to choose the right backpack!

Spinal misalignments or vertebrae that have shifted out of proper alignment put pressure on the nerve endings. This causes the nerves to become irritated and inflamed. The irritation pulls the nerve to send increased nerve impulses which cause the muscle to contract or pull on the muscles and soft tissue in the surrounding area. The muscles can become imbalanced or asymmetrical which results in poor posture because the body naturally compensates for by altering movement in other areas. This shift in movement will cause you to hold your body in an unnatural position (i.e. leaning on or favoring one side, slumped shoulders, etc.) putting extra pressure on the muscles and tendons. Eventually, because the muscles are laboring to maintain stability, they will become tight, tense and stiff. Chiropractic adjustments effectively remove misalignments by correcting the vertebrae that is out of place. Once vertebrae have been realigned, compression of the nerves will be alleviated, removing the irritation. The inflammation caused by the irritation then will decrease until eventually it is gone. This will allow soft tissues and muscles to release/loosen up to correct your postural issues and restore balance to your body.

It is critical that children are able to give their full attention in school in order to learn effectively. Aches, strain, discomfort, and pain can make it hard for a child to focus or concentrate on the lesson. Even a dull or mild discomfort can cause distraction and issues with attentiveness. Injuries sustained from the playground or from sports are typical culprits of pain. These types of injuries are usually apparent and do not go unnoticed. Sports or playground injuries also are more likely receive some form of treatment promptly. However, there may be a more common and less obvious origin of pain to look out for. Unfortunately, this offender is a necessity when it comes to going to school. An improper backpack could be causing pain that is disrupting your child’s concentration.
