World Spine Day
#SupportYourSpine
World Spine Day recognizes the lack of access to quality spine care and rehabilitation in under-served communities, which results in chronicity and permanent deformity. For many populations, spinal pain and disability is not just a minor inconvenience – it can mean not being able to work and provide food and sustenance.
On October 16, the Canadian Chiropractic Association joins the global movement to raise awareness about the significance of spinal health and well-being. Our spines play a pivotal role in our everyday lives, from maintaining posture to enabling movement and supporting our central nervous system. An estimated one billion people suffer with spinal pain with 540 million people at any one time. Low back pain remains the leading cause of years lived with disability on the planet.
Join us in bringing attention to the global burden of spinal disorders by helping to highlight the challenges of living with low back pain in all regions, cultures, backgrounds, and ages. Keep an eye on our Facebook, or Instagram accounts throughout October for additional assets or visit worldspineday.org for more information.
