  • Heathergate 22: Best option for you is a back pack that has a padded waist belt. Most of the weight will rest on the hips instead of the shoulders. The shoulder straps just keep the pack stable. With scoliosis, weight on the hips should not adversely affect your condition.

    Good luck and best wishes.

  • @baseballbrook I have the same problem, probably not as bad, though. Every two weeks I go to the chiropractor and get a basic back and neck cracking, I also stretch a lot (A LOTTTT XD) drinking a lot of water helps hydrate the rings of muscle between your vertebrate and keep the loose. My backpack is an Ogio bookbag, just a normal backpack, two straps, very lightweight, holds a lot, very handy. I also drink Ensure chocolate drinks... THEY'RE FRIKKEN GOOD AS HELL! Good luck lmfao.
