It's back to school time, and that means it's also backpack-wearing + sitting time for your kids. A poorly positioned backpack and poor posture while sitting for long periods of time, can make school a painful experience for your child.

Kids and low back pain
According to a recent survey of school-aged children, the lifetime prevalence of low back pain is over 40%. And up to 26% of children miss school because of back pain – 13% of those cases including recurring or disabling back pain!

How to prevent back pain
First, come see Dr. Trester for an evaluation. Dr. Trester will review your child's spine and recommend a plan for correction (if necessary) and ongoing wellness. Also take into consideration these helpful tips.

Kerstin + Joshua
"Thanks Dr. Trester and Shalene for your flexibility and always making it work for me when I have to rechedule appointments. You Rock! I always look forward to coming and seeing you both. As you can see, "Alex" the monkey is very much appreciated. He has been biking around Stanley Park with us, joined many picnics downtown, and gets "special treatments" at nighttime."

Congratulations to Kerstin and Joshua. You are both doing well with your ongoing chiropractic care. And we're proud of you for taking control of your overall health and wellness.
