We’re excited to share The Joint Chiropractic’s Back-to-School Backpack Guide 🎒✨ — packed with chiropractor-approved tips to help your kids start the school year strong.

📖 Read it here: https://kfor.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/843665019/back-to-school-2025-the-joint-chiropractic-shares-the-ultimate-guide-to-backpacks-for-kids/

From choosing the right fit to packing smart, the way your child wears their backpack can make a big difference in posture and spinal health. 🌿

Here are a few highlights:
✅ Keep backpack weight under 10–15% of your child’s body weight
✅ Place heavier items close to the back
✅ Choose wide, padded straps & always use both
✅ Make sure the pack sits snugly at waist level

Small changes = big results when it comes to growing spines!

The good news? This isn’t permanent.

👩‍⚕️ Teach them movement breaks.
📱 Raise devices to eye level.
🪑 Use supportive seating.
✨ And yes, gentle pediatric chiropractic care may help restore alignment and build healthier habits.

July is UV Safety Month — a reminder that wellness is more than what you feel; it's what you prevent.

Just like regular chiropractic care protects your spine over time, using sunscreen protects your skin.
UV rays can silently cause skin damage. ☀️

At The Joint Chiropractic Des Peres, Dr. James Rhodes reminds us why consistent care matters:

“Misalignments and dysfunctional areas in the spine negatively affect health and well-being due to their influence on the nervous system. Regular chiropractic adjustments restore the healthy function of the spine and nervous system, helping the body to function at its optimal potential.”

Wellness is about prevention. Stay consistent with your adjustments this summer. 🌞
