Save Your Child from Chronic Back Pain with Dr.
Eugene Kramers Tips

Back pain is a common sight in the US, but a new
and disturbing trend is taking a toll on the
lives of people. According to the American
Chiropractic Association (ACA), young children
are the new victims of back pain and heavy
backpacks are a contributing factor to it.

Dr. Eugene Kramer opines that over the past 10
years, a marked growth has been seen in the
number of children complaining about back, neck
and shoulder pain. This new back pain trend isnt
surprising considering the disproportionate
weight they carry in their backpacks- often slung
over one shoulder. Other studies have shown that
slinging a backpack over one shoulder could
worsen the curvature of the spine in scoliosis
patients.

According to the preliminary results of the
studies conducted by ACA, show that longer a
child wears a backpack, the longer it takes for
the curvature or the deformity of spine to
correct itself. The results of these types of
studies are important because many schools have
removed lockers from the school premises, forcing
the students to carry their books with them all
day long.

Dr. Eugene Kramer has come up with few tips which
can help your child get rid of the back pain.
Make sure to opt for a back pack having wide,
padded straps. Non-padded straps are
uncomfortable, and can dig into your child's
shoulders.

A back pack with individualized compartments
must be the pick since contents can be positioned
most effectively. Make sure that pointy or bulky
objects are packed away from the area resting on
your childs back. Another aspect to be kept
in mind is that your childs back pack should not
weigh more than 5 to 10 of his or her body
weight. Heavier back pack will make the child
droop forward in an attempt to support the weight
on his or her back.
8
The shoulder straps should be adjustable so
the backpack can be fitted to your child's body.
Straps that are too loose can cause the backpack
to dangle. Urge your child to carry the back
pack on both the shoulders. Lugging the back pack
on one shoulder can cause a disproportionate
shift of the body weight on one side.
