Ronald Spiaggia, D.C. on Healthy Use of Backpacks for Children

"When a child's backpack is worn correctly it can be a very practical way for a child to carry books and supplies." Says, Dr. Ron Spiaggia, D.C., Clinic Director of performance Rehabilitation and Sports Injury Center, PC located in Watchung, N.J. "When purchasing a backpack ensures it has two shoulder straps and a waist strap, this will ensure equal distribution of weight of the contents evenly across the body."

"Also, inquire with the school district to see if your child could receive duplicate textbooks or if their textbooks are available in CD or PDF form.  This would eliminate the need for the child to transports heavy text books to and from school.   Improperly used backpacks can lead to severe neck, shoulder, back and arm pain or discomfort; do not ignore these symptoms as they can contribute to chronic spinal conditions as an adult."
