The use of backpacks is a common practice among secondary school students worldwide. Postural alterations, such as scoliosis or lordosis, can develop in response to inappropriate practices related to backpack usage. Objectives: To determine the association between modes of backpack usage and postural alterations of the spinal column. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytical correlational study that included 177 patients. Results: It was found that 57.14% of students who used the backpack correctly had postural alterations, while no student using the backpack correctly had any spinal column alterations (p < 0.001). Additionally, 58.89% of students who carried excess weight in their backpacks had postural alterations (p < 0.001). Regarding the way they used the backpack, 100% of students who carried the backpack on both shoulders and those who used wheeled backpacks did not experience spinal column alterations (p < 0.001). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the method of carrying the backpack and postural alterations of the spinal column.
