We see a lot of kids in our office who complain about aches and pains from carrying heavy book-bags to and from school. Excessive, repetitive weight on growing bones and muscles may cause spinal misalignment (subluxations), muscle spasms and poor posture.
Some things you can do to prevent spinal damage from book-bags include:
- Choose an ergonomically designed book-bag that is specifically created to better distribute weight.
- Check children’s book-bags regularly to make sure they’re not carrying around extra weight from toys, old school work and electronics (that they’re not supposed to have at school, anyway).
- Ask older children to go to their locker at the end of the school day and only bring home books necessary for homework.
- If students are bringing several books home each day specifically for homework, talk to your child’s teacher. Your son or daughter may be able to manage their time better at school so that they have less homework and fewer books to carry.
Dr. George Tomes offers free chiropractic care for all children under 12, and significantly reduced care for children under 17. Call 678-777-3116 to schedule an appointment just to make sure your child spine and soft tissues haven’t been damaged by heavy book-bags or other stresses on their body.
When you’ve been in a car accident, you are usually very shaken and upset. If you don’t have any obvious major injuries like broken bones or cuts, you might think your okay. You might not realize that you have suffered from whiplash or other soft tissue injuries until two hours to two days after the accident.
Whiplash is a common injury from car accidents and occurs when excessive force or motion is applied the tendons, muscles and ligaments in the neck. Symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, headache, muscle tightness and stiffness, dizziness, shoulder pain, pain radiating from your neck to your shoulders or arms, swelling around the neck, blurred vision, back pain, nausea and fatigue.
After a car accident, you have a lot of things to take care of including talking to insurance companies, repair places, an attorney and more. This can be very stressful. Just remember that a car can be replaced. Your health and your body CAN’T!
Pain medication only makes you feel like you’re okay, when you still have injuries. So, make sure you get thorough chiropractic care from an experienced chiropractor to heal and repair the cause of the pain. Getting chiropractic care immediately after a car accident can relieve pain and begin the healing process so that your injuries don’t cause you problems for years to come.
If you, or someone you know suffers from PMS, try these tips for natural relief:
- To maintain stable blood sugar levels, eat small, frequent meals.
- Reduce sugar and salt intake as much as possible to minimize bloating, breast tenderness, dizziness and swelling of the hands and feet.
- Exercising on a regular basis–routine aerobic exercise being more important than the intensity of the workkout.
- Acupressure or Acupuncture
- Eliminate caffeine to reduce breast tenderness, depression and anxiety.
- Eat more fruits, beans, fish, vegetables, and nuts.
- Avoid alcohol, which is a depressant that can increase anxiety and depression.
- Reduce the red meat, dairy products and the fatty foods in your diet as much as possible.

- Make sure you’re getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
- Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily activities. You may want to try yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, breathing exercises, etc.
- Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day.
