Spinal pain and disability are more common than cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's Disease combined. The most common reason for being unable to work for years continues to be low back discomfort. Out of an estimated one billion people who experience it, 540 million people experience spinal pain at any given time.
World Spine Day is observed every year on the 16th of October to educate and remind people to care for their spines by being active. The theme for this year is “Move Your Spine,” as there’s growing evidence to support the fact that lack of physical activity is the leading cause of spinal pain and disability.
