Back to School & Backpack Safety
As school approaches there are important safety measures to consider in choosing and wearing backpacks. Backpack Safety America/International gives us these simple steps for avoiding injury and improving spinal health.
Step 1: Choose Right - Choosing the right size backpack is the most important step to safe backpack use. Choose a pack that isn't too big for your child's frame and that has a lot of different compartments so that the weight can be distributed evenly.
Step 2: Pack Right - The maximum weight of the loaded backpack should not exceed 10-15% of the person's body weight, so pack only what is needed. Use your scale at home to weigh your child's pack to get an idea. For a 40lb child, this is only 4lbs! Tip: If the backpack forces the wearer to move forward to carry, it's overloaded.
Step 3: Lift Right - Face the Pack-Bend at the Knees - Use both hands and check the weight of the pack. Lift with the legs. Apply one shoulder strap and then the other. Tip: Don't sling the backpack onto one shoulder.

Gut health and the microbiome is a hot topic right now! The microbiome is all of the bacteria together with their genetic material and metabolic by-products that reside within us. Research is starting to show that these trillions of microbes that live on us and within us play a key role in almost all systems in the body. The gut microbiome can influence a person's mood, appetite, produce essential vitamins, regulate the immune system and influence inflammation.
We have created a wellness supplement pack to support brain, neurological & gut health. This combination of 4 supplements has been supported by the growing research and can benefit most patients.
Wellness Pack:
UltraFlora Spectrum (contains 7 key probiotic strains)
Vitamin D3 5000

Inflavonoid (turmeric)
