Did you know that at any given moment, an estimated 540 million people suffer from lower back pain globally? Or that four million Australians suffer from back problems every year? It is a concerning statistic and one of epidemic proportions.
Every year, we celebrate World Spine Day to raise awareness of spinal disorders globally and improve access to quality spinal healthcare. This is a call to action for Australians to prioritise their spinal health across all aspects of their daily lives. Whether in the workplace, at home or at school, fostering daily positive spinal habits is critical to supporting the spine at every phase of life.
Our overarching goal is to raise awareness about the pivotal role chiropractic care plays in preventing and treating spinal disorders and, most importantly, empower YOU to take charge of your spinal health
and wellbeing.
It is crucial that people of all backgrounds and communities understand the importance of staying mobile, keeping active, regularly stretching and refraining from overloading their spines with excessive weight or strain.
Incorporating regular stretching exercises into your daily routines is an easy and time-efficient way to improve your spinal health immediately! The Straighten Up app offers a fantastic 3-minute exercise program featuring stretches that can help you stay aligned and reduce the risk of spinal issues.
Lastly, Chiropractors can assist you in resetting and refocusing on your spinal health, leading to improved overall wellbeing and long-term spinal health benefits.
