Awareness

National Spinal Health Week (20-26 May 2024) is an initiative of the Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA) to educate Australians about spinal health for EveryBODY.

 

With low back pain currently the leading cause of disability worldwide and considered a global public health issue by the World Health Organisation (WHO), in 2024, National Spinal Health Week will increase awareness of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) specifically Low Back Pain (LBP) that currently costs the Australian economy over $55.1 billion annually. However, the real cost to more than 6.1 million Australians who suffer from MSDs is immeasurable. 

This week is a chance to promote spinal health which can help prevent future health problems.
