The theme for that year was 'Straighten Up and Move' and it emphasized on the importance of healthy spinal posture and activity which encouraged body awareness and decreases the daily wear and tear on a person's spine.
The aims of World Spine Day are to:
- Increase awareness about spinal health and spine disorders within the interdisciplinary health care community among the public and policy decision-makers.
- To develop an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to lower the burden of spinal disorders.
- To provide an opportunity for and promote ongoing discussion about the burden of spinal disorders.
As a person gets older, he or she is susceptible to aches and pains in the spine from time to time. With over 60 joints in it, your spine must function properly so that it can protect your spinal cord and nerves.
