How Spinal Stress Can Show Up at Different Ages
From birth through the teen years, a child’s spine goes through constant change—along with plenty of everyday bumps, habits, and activities that can add stress over time.
Infants
Birth pressure and early positioning can place stress on a developing spine—especially when babies can’t tell you what feels “off.”
Toddlers
Crawling, learning to walk, twisting, and frequent tumbles can create early movement patterns that slowly affect alignment.
School-age children
Posture habits, screen time, desks, heavy backpacks, and sports can add repeated strain to the spine as routines become more structured.
Pre-teens & teens
Increased responsibilities, sports intensity, and physical work can add stress during growth spurts—when movement patterns matter most.
Signs Parents May Notice as Kids Grow
Kids don’t always say “it hurts”—so changes in posture, movement, or comfort can be easy to miss.
If you’re noticing patterns like these, a gentle evaluation can help identify whether spinal stress or movement habits may be contributing—especially during growth stages.
- Recurring “small aches” that come and go
- Posture changes (slouching or head-forward)
- Complaints after screen time or homework
- Avoiding certain movements (twisting, bending, running)
- Favoring one side when sitting or standing
- Stiffness after play, sports, or long car rides
- Backpack-related discomfort or uneven carrying habits
- Restless sleep or difficulty getting comfortable
