Protect your spine and Work Well Every Day! October is a time to commit to building safe and healthy workspaces for all Australians and to raise awareness of the physical and mental impact musculoskeletal injuries have on Australian workers, which costs the economy over $55 billion annually.

Everyone deserves to work in a safe and healthy environment - whether you’re on-site, on the road, at a desk, working from home, or on your feet, it’s essential to take steps to prevent work-related injuries which can create musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).

To align with Safe Work Month's ‘Reviewing Workplace Controls’ focus week, the Chiropractors Association’s annual WorkSpace Week (20-26 October) is inviting Australians to join the WorkSpace Week movement and highlight WMSD prevention and early intervention to improve the spinal health and well-being of all Australian workers.

Adjust your thinking to work well EVERY day! Visit workspaceweek.org.au for hints, tips and free resources, or to consult a chiro, because prevention IS the best protection.

World Spine Day, held on 16th of October each year, is a key opportunity to promote spinal health, prevention, and access to quality care.
As the largest global initiative dedicated to spinal health, it highlights the impact of spinal pain and disability while encouraging proactive steps for lifelong health.
Launched in 2008, World Spine Day is organised by the World Federation of Chiropractic, of which the ACA is the Australian member.
Today, more than 600 organisations worldwide support the initiative annually.
Through this campaign, people are encouraged to care for their spines and stay active by maintaining good posture, engaging in regular physical activity, practicing safe lifting techniques, and supporting healthy working conditions.

Is Your Child’s Backpack A Source Of Spinal Stress?
By Jeanne Ohm, DC

We know that back pain is the most common ailment among working Australian adults. Even more significant than back pain and associated injury is the implications that postural distortions have on nerve system function. These postural adaptations can cause spinal nerve stress. Stress to the nervous system can adversely affect numerous functions in the body leading to a wide array of health concerns.

Chiropractors offer these tips for safe backpack use:
• Wear both straps and avoid the one-strap styled back packs. Uneven distribution of the load causes postural compensations and spinal stress.
• When putting on and removing backpacks, bend at the knees or have the pack at a higher level such as on a desk or table. Sudden twisting motion adds to the potential of injury.
• Arrange the backpack so it rests evenly in the middle of the back. Shoulder straps should be adjusted to allow the child to put on and take off the backpack without difficulty and permit free movement of the arms. Straps should not be too loose, and the backpack should not extend below the lower back.
• Keep the load at 10-15% or less of the student’s bodyweight. Carry only those items that are required for the day. Request additional textbooks to be kept at home instead of hauling heavy books to and from school.
• Organize the contents of the backpack by placing the heaviest items closest to the back.
