Could Spine Pain in Kids Be Linked to Becoming Overweight?


Is there a link between our kid's spinal pain and BECOMING overweight


Did you know that 20% of children around 10 to 14 years are classified as overweight?


With lifestyle factors playing a huge role in our inability to heal and being a vital risk factor for limited treatment results, research


The research found that the number of people with low back pain who were overweight was 5.3% COMPARED to children without spinal pain, the prevalence was 1.6%

THAT'S A MASSIVE 231% INCREASE



A problem may be that studies have shown that spinal pain can lead to decreased physical activity - which of course could cause overweight children


Being Overweight and obese during adolescence has been correlated with

  • coronary heart disease

  • Diabetes

  • Cancers

  • Premature death


Also worth noting is that being overweight as a child is a STRONG RISK FACTOR for being overweight as an adult
