Spinal Health Issues? Chiropractic Care Can Help
Support your spine. Support your life.
At Spine Sport Feet in Helensvale, we believe spinal health is fundamental to your overall wellbeing. Musculoskeletal conditions affect more than 6.9 million Australians, with back problems alone impacting 3.7 million people. If you’re dealing with back pain, neck stiffness, poor posture, or recurring headaches — your spine may be calling for help.
Spinal Health Week, an initiative by Spinal Health Australia, is a timely reminder to prioritise your spine and health through education, prevention, and professional support.
Why Spine Health Matters
Your spine is more than just bones — it houses your central nervous system and plays a vital role in your mobility, balance, and posture. When your spine isn’t functioning optimally, it can trigger a ripple effect across your entire body.
Some of the most common spinal health issues include:
-
Chronic lower back pain
-
Disc injuries or degeneration
-
Postural imbalances
-
Sciatica or nerve-related pain
-
Neck stiffness and headaches
These issues can arise due to trauma, poor ergonomics, sedentary lifestyles, or stress — but they can also be prevented or managed with the right care.
Spine Health Australia: A National Focus
Spinal Health Australia and the Australian Chiropractors Association use Spinal Health Week each year to shine a spotlight on the importance of spinal care. This national health awareness week encourages Australians to think about how daily habits impact their back, neck, and spinal system.
Spinal Health Week runs annually in May, and it’s the perfect time to check in on your habits — and your spine.
Everyday Habits That Affect Your Spine and Health
Whether you’re working at a desk, on your feet all day, or constantly looking down at your phone, the way you move and sit can either support or strain your spine.
Here are five lifestyle habits that support better spinal health:
-
Maintain Good Posture
Sit and stand tall with shoulders back and your head in a neutral position. Poor posture is a common cause of back and neck pain. -
Stretch Regularly
Incorporate daily stretches to relieve muscle tension and improve spinal mobility. -
Limit Screen Time
“Tech neck” is real. Take regular breaks from mobile devices and computers to reduce spinal strain. -
Stay Active
Movement is medicine. Regular walking, swimming, or strength training supports a strong, flexible spine. -
Lift Carefully
Always bend at the knees and engage your core when lifting — avoid twisting your spine under load.
