Spinal Awareness Week
Past Event
Back and neck pain is recognised as one of the leading causes of disability globally. Research shows that neck pain is a leading cause of disability in adults (reported up to 20% of adults), with many presenting for assessment. Neck pain is in the top five back problem hospitalisations in 2017-18.
Common causes of neck pain include:
- poor posture(the way your body is positioned when standing or sitting)
- sleeping in an awkward position
- tension
- injury such as a muscle strain or whiplash
- prolonged use of a desktop or laptop computer
- wear and tear in the bones of the neck, which is a normal part of ageing
Cindy and Lloyed from Goldfields Chiropractic & Healing Centre in Kalgoorlie coming Monday 23 May 2022 between 10.00am and 11.30am to teach us how to protect our spines and most importantly reduce the pain in our necks.
