A Healthy Backpack

image of kids wearing backpacks.

Another important wellness essential product is an ergonomically designed backpack. It is amazing how we can put thousands of pages of data onto a microchip smaller than the eye can see, yet kids are carrying backpacks that are heavier than ever filled with text books. Many schools are taking away kid's lockers making the problem even worse. Some kids carry backpacks with 40% of their body weight or more. You can see them walking to school leaning forward to offset the weight on their backs. Until schools figure out a way to make the loads lighter, we recommend that you get a backpack that is designed to help you stand up straighter. Our favorite is the AirPack Backpack designed by Core Products because of its patented shoulder straps and inflatable lumbar cushion which when properly adjusted redistributes the weight from the shoulders and upper back into the hips promoting a healthier upright standing posture.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I took my one year old to see Gina after he fell off the couch and landed on his head, and me for a prenatal adjustment. She made us both feel so much better and so comfortable with the whole environment! She was great with my son and very informative about everything she did!"

  • "First time to Balanced Wellness. Just moved to Hamilton, MT from Bozeman and had this business recommended to us by our previous chiropractor. They were quick to get me set up with an appointment and the care provided was excellent. I was extremely pleased and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing chiropractic care."
