Heavy Backpacks Can Injure A Child's Spine (press release)
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Anne Packard- Spicer, associate professor at Northwestern Health Sciences University and a faculty clinician in the university's Bloomington Natural Care Center, has treated thousands of children over the last 10 years and notes that the weight of larger backpacks can affect a growing child's posture and spinal health:
"Parents should carefully monitor how much weight is being carried in their children's backpacks. Other joints besides the child's spine can be affected, because a heavy weight can throw the neck, shoulders and pelvis off balance."
