Every year on October 16th, we celebrate world spine day to help bring awareness to different spine issues and disabilities that affect people worldwide. This day brings together health professionals, rehabilitation experts, public health advocates, and schoolchildren on every continent.

What Is World Spine Day?

This holiday is one in which we recognize and celebrate the importance of spine health and the connection that a healthy spine has with your well-being. On this day, we work to promote physical activity and the importance of good posture, as well as proper lifting and responsible working conditions, all of which are things that play a major role in your spine’s health.

Why Is World Spine Day Important?

Across the planet, there are an estimated one billion people who suffer from spinal pain. It’s the single biggest cause of disability around the world and it affects the life course of each individual it plagues. World Spine Day calls attention to this and works to help people learn how to effectively manage their spine issues as well as prevent any future issues with their spine.
