Seniors are also able to access a chronic pain care plan through their GP for 5 visits annually to allied health including chiropractors. Our chiropractor, Dr Nick, often sees clients referred in this way and keeps the GP informed with improvements that clients report after treatment. Call us on 62815494 if you have any questions about the use of this plan.

For many older Australians, back pain is a long-term reality. But long-term does not have to mean untreated, unmanaged or accepted as an inevitable part of ageing.

The 2026 Australian Spinal Health Survey conducted by found that 48.3% of Australians aged 61 and over with back pain have chronic pain, the highest rate of any age group. More than four in ten (42.5%) report reduced physical mobility as a direct result of back pain.

As we age, back pain can progressively limit activity, independence, sleep and social participation, all of which can affect mental wellbeing and quality of life.

While older Australians may be less likely to report stress or anxiety linked to back pain, higher rates of chronic pain, mobility loss and sleep disruption point to a persistent long term burden.

Evidence-based care can support people at every age. Chiropractic healthcare provides drug-free, non-invasive support to help manage back pain, maintain mobility and support independence.

This Spinal Health Month, if back pain is affecting your quality of life, it’s time to adjust your thinking.

Back pain is often assumed to worsen with age. But new data from the Pureprofile 2026 Spinal Health Survey reveals something less expected: the mental health toll of back pain peaks among younger working-age Australians.

Among Australians aged 31 to 40 with back pain, 56.0% report a moderate, significant or extreme mental health impact, the highest of any age group. In the 25 to 30 age group, 55.6% report the same. Three in four people across both groups experience at least some psychological impact from their back pain.

These are Australians building careers, raising families and managing financial pressures, while back pain adds a significant and often unacknowledged mental load.

The data also reveals concerning patterns among younger Australians:

• Women aged 25 to 30 experience the largest gender gap of any age group, with 63.5% reporting a moderate-to-extreme mental health impact, compared with 44.7% of men.

• Back pain prevalence is already extremely high, with 95.4% of 18 to 24 year-olds having experienced back pain in their lifetime.

• Despite this burden, young Australians aged 18 to 24 are the least likely of any age group to seek professional treatment, with many self-managing through over-the-counter medication.

• Chronic pain is already emerging, affecting 26.0% of 18 to 24 year-olds and 33.0% of 31 to 40 year-olds with back pain.

Early, evidence-based healthcare matters. The biopsychosocial model of care addresses both the physical and psychological dimensions of back pain and is most effective when applied early.

For young Australians, back pain is not just a health issue. It is a quality of life issue, with consequences that can compound over time.

This Spinal Health Month, if back pain is affecting your mental health, adjust your thinking. Consult a chiro and get back to feeling good.

Myofascial Release with Theona

Working Bodies, located at Woden Wellness Centre, uses Myofascial Release (MFR) to help your body move with more ease and less pain. MFR targets the fascia—the connective tissue that supports every muscle and joint. When it becomes tight or restricted, you feel it as stiffness, tension, or reduced mobility. The site of pain may or may not necessarily be the site of dysfunction.

Why our clients choose MFR:
* Supports relief from chronic tension
* Improves mobility and posture
* Helps reduce pain linked to fascia restrictions in the fascial chains
* Encourages deep relaxation and nervous system balance

What to expect in your session: Your therapist applies slow, sustained pressure—no oils, no rushing—to gently release restrictions and allow your body to unwind naturally. Most clients leave feeling lighter, looser, and more aligned.
