Back-to-school season is a time for new routines and fresh starts.
But with more time spent sitting at desks, reading, and using screens, it can also lead to posture problems—especially in growing kids.
Why Posture Matters at Home and School
Slouching while reading or hunching over a tablet can place extra strain on the spine and nervous system. Dr. Stuart Kelly sees many children and teens around this time of year with complaints like headaches, fatigue, and back or neck tension—all signs that posture may need attention.
Simple Fixes for Better Posture
At home and in the classroom, encourage:
- Sitting with both feet flat on the ground
- Keeping books and screens at eye level
- Taking regular breaks to stretch and move
Parents can benefit from these changes too, especially when working from home or helping with homework.
Supporting Growing Spines
Dr. Kelly uses age-appropriate chiropractic techniques to help relieve tension, correct imbalances, and support better posture. With gentle adjustments and practical guidance, chiropractic care can help kids feel more comfortable, focused, and ready to thrive.
