As part of Spinal Health Week 2017, the practitioners at Live Active are raising awareness of chronic back pain and encouraging Australians to seek help.

Spinal Health Week runs from 22 to 28 May and this year we are encouraging people to seek help for chronic back problems. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare defines chronic back pain as a health condition that lasts for three months or longer.

One in six Australians suffer from the physical and psychological effects of chronic back problems – that’s an estimated 3.7 million people suffering.

At Live Active, we are encouraging our patients and the Annandale community to think about chronic back pain and take steps to improve their spinal health. During Spinal Health Week, make an appointment for yourself, loved one, friend or colleague with Jack Cowled at Live Active for a complimentary spinal screen.

You can also visit spinalhealthweek.com.au to find out more about chronic back pain and chiropractic care.

Contact Live Active on (02) 8073 3337 to book a time for your screening today.
