Back to School and Back to Chiropractic Care

The first days of school for our children are just around the corner. There are countless things that are prepped for going back to school. What supplies will our children need? From backpacks to pencils, we equip them with everything they need to do their best in the classroom.

One thing that often gets forgotten is how stressful school can be for children.

Children encounter obstacles and stress in their lives on a daily basis. Chiropractic recognizes three categories of stress that can affect your children at a young age: physical, emotional, and chemical. Here are a few examples:

Physical Stress

Constant physical demands can create a negative compound effect on your child’s well-being.

• Carrying a book bag that weighs more than their parent’s briefcase before they sit on a hard, wooden seat all day as they learn to read, write, and do arithmetic.

• Arriving home from school with low energy levels, which often leads to inactivity—watching TV or playing video games instead of moving their bodies.

Chemical Stress

Drinking, digesting, or breathing in substances that can create internal damage to your child’s well-being.

• Eating a quick, low-nutrient breakfast to start the day.

• Drinking sugary beverages or snacks after school to make it through homework or social activities.

Emotional Stress

Thinking or experiencing negative or worrisome thoughts can impact your child’s well-being.

• Navigating social pressure during school breaks, such as finding someone to sit with at lunch.

• Feeling pressure to perform in academics, sports, or extracurricular activities.
