Back pain becomes more common as we age. Australians aged 65+ are more likely to develop chronic low back pain, with around 68% of those over 75 living with a musculoskeletal disorder.

Whether experienced on its own, or alongside conditions like osteoporosis or osteoarthritis, back pain can limit everyday activities - and it’s not just physical limitations. It can also impact mental wellbeing, affecting independence, mood and overall quality of life.

CHRONIC BACK PAIN

Chronic back pain can limit your ability to take part in family, social and work activities - and it’s not just physical limitations. It can also impact mental well-being, contributing to stress, isolation and fatigue.

Chronic pain is typically defined as pain that persists for 12 weeks or longer, even after the initial cause has improved. It may be constant or intermittent, and can affect how you move, sleep, work and engage in everyday life. Over time, it can also influence mood, energy levels and overall quality of life.

If you’re living with back pain, it’s time to adjust your thinking and get back to feeling good.

A healthy spine supports a growing mind.

Modern lifestyle habits are putting young, developing spines under pressure. Back pain becomes more common as children get older - often linked to poor posture, heavy school bags and inactivity from too much screen time.

Prevention is the best protection. Small changes today can make a lifelong difference.
✔ Encourage daily movement and play
✔ Check backpack weight and fit
✔ Break up screen time
✔ Support good posture at home and school

Strong spinal health supports not just physical development, but overall wellbeing. Healthy habits start young, and when poor posture and lifestyle behaviours go unchecked, they can form lifelong patterns that follow children into adulthood.

This Spinal Health Month, take a proactive approach to your child’s spinal health. Adjust your family's thinking and join the Spinal Health Month (1–30 June) Movement.

Maintaining spinal health is essential to staying active, independent and feeling good at every stage of life.

For women, balancing work, family and caring responsibilities, back pain doesn’t just affect the body - it can add to the mental load, impacting stress, energy and overall wellbeing.

With 4 in 5 Australians experiencing back pain at some point, everyday tasks and family life can become more challenging - and ongoing pain can increase the risk of mental health impacts.

If you’re living with back pain, it’s time to adjust your thinking, lighten the mental load and consult a chiro.

If you do physically demanding work, you may be at greater risk of musculoskeletal injuries that can lead to back pain.

Repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, pushing, pulling and long hours on your feet can place ongoing strain on the spine, increasing the risk of injury and, over time, impacting both physical and mental wellbeing.

💻 Spend hours seated at a computer for work, gaming or study?

Long periods of sitting and inactivity can increase your risk of back pain - often linked to poor posture, incorrect ergonomics and repetitive strain.
Over time, this can contribute to musculoskeletal issues and, if left unmanaged can lead to chronic spinal health conditions.

Common signs to watch for:
⚠️ Headaches
⚠️ Neck, shoulder and upper back pain
⚠️ Postural changes over time

Back pain doesn’t just affect the body - it can also impact mental wellbeing, contributing to stress and fatigue.

For many men, back pain doesn’t just slow them down - it adds to the mental load of managing work, finances and family, and can take a toll on mental health.

Repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, pushing, pulling and long hours on your feet can place ongoing strain on the spine, increasing the risk of back pain.
Over time, this doesn’t just affect your body - it can also impact mental wellbeing, contributing to stress, fatigue and reduced quality of life.

Early intervention is key. Addressing back pain early can help prevent chronic conditions and reduce its broader impact on your health and wellbeing.

Join the Spinal Health Movement (1–30 June) because a healthy spine supports a healthy mind.
