is a 25 pound backpack too much for a 17 year old with scoliosis to carry each day?

With all my books (which I have to bring home every day) my backpack is usually around 25 pounds. The chiropractor gives some relief but I think this is a major factor in my back and neck pain, I can even feel it when I'm carrying the backpack it is the cause of my pain.

So is 25 pounds too much for a 17 year old with scoliosis to carry home? I walk home, I do not have a car unfortunately.

Also, would this allow me to get accommodations from my school? Such as an extra set of textbooks for home use, so I don't have to carry them every day.
