THE BACK BREAKING CONSEQUENCES OF TODAY’S TEEN LIFESTYLES: Adolescent aches and pains are being ignored
Dated: 20 December 2007

To coincide with World Spine Day - Tuesday 16th October new consumer research from the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) revealed that teenagers are choosing their friends over their health.
47% of teenagers say that if they experienced any pain or felt unwell, they would do nothing and simply hope that the problem went away.
The British Chiropractic Association sees that a lack of exercise and a general apathy towards health amongst teens is taking its toll. You can view the whole press release here: 0207120a -Teen Lifestyles.pdf
World Spine Day, on 16th October, is an International Day of focus designed to encourage people to look after their backs.
This year the BCA launched Straighten Up UK, a simple three minute exercise programme designed to improve posture. By incorporating just a few simple exercises into their daily routine, teenagers can really make a difference to their health.
