Chiropractor Dr. Donald Phillips Begins Back-to-School Pain Prevention Campaign

Chiropractor Dr. Donald Phillips is combatting this by educating students on how to avoid pain from backpacks and heavy books. The team at Dr. Phillips Chiropractic Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio, TX has dedicated their efforts to helping students get healthy and practice good habits as the school year begins.

Dr. Phillips says he has seen far too many students suffer from back-to-school pains.

“Carrying heavy backpacks takes a toll on kids,” he says. “We want to teach students how to avoid this and prevent them from developing chronic back pain.”
