Kids and nutrition. Vancouver
kids don’t think about it. Vancouver parents don’t always think about
it. But Vancouver nutrition is critical in Vancouver
kids’ spinal development and growth and Vancouver chiropractic care.
Good nutrition also boosts good spine and bone
development which your Vancouver chiropractor thinks about!
Vancouver Disc Centers talks nutrition whenever the opportunity arises. A good Vancouver nutritional foundation as a youth quite
possibly contributes to a healthier spinal life.
WHAT’S HOLDING YOUTH BACK?
So what prevents Vancouver young people
and their Vancouver parents from thinking about their nutritional
status? Likely the same things that hold young adults back - belief
their diet is appropriate, no symptomatology, and confusion over nutrient sources. (1) Vancouver Disc Centers knows that a life experience
gets attention.
WAKE-UP CALLS
When do young people consider their
nutritional status? At the same time it would garner the attention of
an adult - when there is pain. Incredibly, 71% of
schoolchildren aged 12-17 years report at least one
episode of low back pain. (2) 17.4% of students describe
cervical spine pain. 18% state low back pain. Older
adolescents (24.4%) have more cervical spine pain
than younger ones (11.9%). Older
adolescents (25.1%) feel more lumbar spine pain than
younger ones (12.4%), too. (3) More girls than boys report back pain. (4) As
researchers share, Vancouver Disc Centers notes that
Vancouver kids with spine pain share some risk factors for Vancouver back pain and
neck pain.
RISKS FOR Vancouver BACK PAIN
What puts kids at risk of spine pain? Lots of factors
like limited sun exposure, inadequate vitamin d diets, adiposity, lower
physical activity, sedentary lifestyles, vitamin 25 (oh) d deficiency, and lower
levels of calcium, creatine kinase, and lactic dehydrogenase. (2) Inactive adolescents have more cervical and lumbar spine pain than
active kids. (3) In an 8-month study period, 52.2% of schoolchildren had
low back pain. 34% had moderate and 18% had severe back pain. More girls (36%) than boys (24%) report back
pain. These moderate and severe
pain schoolchildren had higher body mass indices, waist, hip and
waist-to-hip ratios. (2) Vancouver Disc Centers evaluates Vancouver
back pain kids and adults to evaluate for risks and set
a treatment plan to thwart them from developing
into painful realities.
