World Spine Day 2023

lateral spine    
There has been a lot of back pain in my family. I have siblings who have suffered greatly from both it and sciatica which is proximal in location.

The sum total of that pain is a formidable problem with which to contend and maintain a steady work life or even get around satisfactorily. Back pain is a leading cause of disability internationally.

Each October 16 many around the world celebrate the progress made and attempt to educate others about back and neck health on World Spine Day.

World Spine Day is a day to spread the word about spine conditions, educate people or get educated on how to avoid or treat them, and get inspired to take better care of your general back and neck health. This day began in 2008 under the auspices of the World Federation of Chiropractic.

As such, World Spine Day is a vehicle used to raise awareness of back pain and other health issues relating to the spinal column. Some billion people worldwide suffer from back pain, spinal pain other disabilities which span age groups, gender, and ethnicity.

Each year a new clever theme is planned to make the day more memorable in an attempt to ensure World Spine Day raises the awareness of spinal health and those disorders associated with the spine.

I hope you have found the solutions to any back pain you have encountered and that you maintain good spinal health for the duration.

I occasionally get back pain myself and this has me decompressing my spine using an inversion table periodically.

This activity affords me quick relief and I try to keep it up prior to developing any problems.

Happy World Spine Day to you !
