Kids School Backpacks Can Cause Painful Neck and Back Problems That Can Last a Lifetime A school backpack is a popular item for kids these days. Millions of elementary, middle, and high school students are heading to their classes with overstuffed backpacks slung over their shoulders. While carrying a backpack to school every day may seem harmless enough, it can cause painful neck and back problems and injuries for students who don't pack or carry their backpacks properly. Heavy loads can cause repetitive stress injuries and spinal pain that will worsen with age and may last a lifetime. Medical Professionals Advise No More Than 10-15% of Body Weight in School Backpacks. More and more doctors are seeing children for back pain and injuries caused by backpacks. Medical professionals advise that individuals carry no more than 10-15% of their body weight on their backs. For example: A child weighing: o 50 lbs. should carry no more than 7.5 lbs. Many children are carrying up to 40 lbs. and are hurting themselves. If children are feeling headaches, neck aches, bad posture, achy and strained muscles, low back pain, muscle spasms, tingling hands, and increased scoliosis complications, they are carrying too much weight improperly. Airpacks Innovative Air Technology Lightens the Load on Your Child's Spine AirPacks has developed a unique, patented system designed to help children carry their loads more comfortably and safely. The AirPacks System is an innovative "air technology" that uses a combination of air-filled straps and a lumbar cushion to redistribute weight to the stronger, load bearing muscles in the hips and lower back - exactly where medical experts say weight should be carried. No more slouching - Improve Your Child's Posture with an AirPack By shifting weight to the lower extremities, the AirPacks System creates a fulcrum that promotes an upright standing position. AirPacks encourage the body to stand posturally correct. The AirPacks System actually improves the overall biomechanics of the spine, reducing the stress on the body by 80% and lightening the effective load by 30%. So the wearer actually FEELS BETTER. Other backpack companies may call their packs ergonomic by requiring the user to use a waist belt. Waist belts may cause forced excessive distribution across a growing pelvis leading to possible pelvic abnormalities. But even if a waist belt was a good thing, how many kids would actually use it every time they put the backpack on? The AirPacks innovative ergonomic system works all on its own, without a waist belt. This innovative technology was developed with leading members of the orthopedic community and tested by a world-renowned neuromuscular research center. The technology has been evaluated in numerous in-use tests to guarantee that it delivers the most superior ergonomic support.
