Local chiropractors in San Diego are saying that there is an increasing number of evidence suggesting that carrying heavy backpacks may lead to low back pain in children and adolescents. The exact reason for this remains unclear. Some scientists have theorized that a backpack filled with books, supplies and other school supplies places an immense amount of stress on a child’s spine. This results in sporadic, sometimes forceful pain. Few studies, however, have examined the way children sport backpacks and what effect carrying a pack in an irregular fashion can have on a child’s spinal column.

Kyphosis, or being a hunchback, can be a serious medical condition. When your spine curves at the top, it can permanently deform you and lean you forward, giving your back a large hump. There are myriad reasons why your back should be perfectly straight and not look like a question mark. For many people it is really embarrassing and has a huge stigma attached to it. It can happen at birth, through other diseases, or from old age.
