WHAT’S HOLDING YOUTH BACK?
So what prevents St Peters young people and their St Peters parents from thinking about their nutritional status?

(1) Old Mill Chiropractic knows that a life experience gets awareness.
WAKE-UP CALLS
When do young people consider their nutritional status? At the same time it would get the attention of an adult - when there is pain.

(3) More girls than boys report back pain. (4) As researchers describe, Old Mill Chiropractic notes that St Peters kids with spine pain have some things in common that put them at risk for St Peters back pain and neck 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) Being inactive increases the odds of having neck and back pain in adolescents. (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. Schoolchildren with moderate and severe pain had higher body mass indices, waist, hip and waist-to-hip ratios.
