Do you remember the days leading up to the first day of school during the summer? It felt like it would never come, but it slowly crept up, right? Those days are long gone for myself, but for many students in Towne Lake and Woodstock, getting ready to go back to school is right around the corner.
One of the many things that my mother was worried about after my first day of school was the weight of my backpack. It was just like clockwork. I would come home and every year she would say the same thing about how heavy it was and how it would ruin my back. When my backpack was tipping the scales at around 50lbs, she became very worried. My backpack problems were eventually becoming pains, as my day-to-day and athletic life were becoming effected by my daily load.
At Ribley Family Chiropractic, we are extremely aware of the homework and textbook loads that children in Towne Lake and Woodstock are bringing home, because our families are apart of the community as well. It is an issue that we address daily with our own families, so we decided to help you and your family as well. Here are a few things that you should examine before your student(s) start complaining about aching backs and shoulders:
- How heavy is your child’s backpack? According to The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc., a child’s backpack should weigh no more than 15% of their body weight.
- How is your child’s posture? A stooped posture is a sure sign of your child’s backpack weighing too much.
- Does your child complain about back or shoulder pains, and/or tingling arms? Learning how to effectively pack a backpack can help reduce back pain and avoid health problems.

yes you will have to leave the state and study it somewhere else.Although Chiropractic is in the field of ailrenattve medicine it most certainly is certified.In order to practice and use the title chiropractor you must register with the state registration board.Its a closed shop.If you want to find out the best pathway, get in touch with the registration board in Michgan and ask them how you can register.There may not be a teaching school, but there will be a registration board.I’d also like to point out that although Chiropractors are altmed practioners they are registered /regulated primary care practitioners.
I don’t know why so many people hate on him. He is just doing his job, and when you are a Chiropractor, you need to tuch your clentis, like a masseur is tuching his clentis. I also find him to be nice and caring, so I don’t see the problem.
Dear Jo and Steve, i bought your book at the UCA crennoefce. Jo your summary lecture of crack it’ was very clear and well presented. I was very charged up and emotional from the amazing crennoefce. I picked up your book on sunday evening and i could not put it down. Three hours later into the night i finished it. I did write in all the action parts and in the right order! The book was very easy to read and to put in action! Well done both of you! Excellent work and i look forward to the next book. yours faithfully, Dr James Faulkner D.C.
