World Spine Day is the largest annual public health initiative event to raise awareness about the global burden of spinal pain and disability. Spine problems often cause long-term health complications, decreased productivity and ability to work, and significant financial burdens.
The spine or backbone is not just bones. It is a complicated structure composed of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. The spinal bones are hollow; they enclose the spinal cord, nerves that pass from the brain to all parts of the body. The human spine is divided into sections named after the portion of the body they pass through: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccygeal.
Lower back pain is experienced by almost everyone at least once. It is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Very little lower back pain is caused by serious health conditions such as cancer, fracture, infection or inflammatory arthritis. Rehabilitation for lower back pain would benefit most of the individuals who suffer from it.
The motto of World Spine Day 2025 is “Invest in Your Spine.” Individuals, healthcare providers, communities and policymakers can invest in spine health by learning about this important skeletal component, adjusting lifestyles and encouraging positive workplace ergonomics.
Stopping smoking, using correct posture while sitting and standing, staying active, doing spine-specific exercises, and avoiding excess weight strain and long periods of inactivity will all increase spinal health.
Make spinal health a priority today. Invest in a healthier tomorrow.
