BACK PAIN – LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY GLOBALLY
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and recognised as a global public health issue by the World Health Organization (WHO [TAG]).

What type of back pain are you experiencing?

Back pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. Understanding the type of pain you have is the first step toward managing it.

🤔 Non-specific low back pain
Around 8 in 10 cases fall into this category, where there’s no single identifiable cause. Often linked to muscles, joints or everyday strain.

⚡ Acute back pain
Short-term pain that can come on suddenly, often from lifting, movement or minor injury.

⏳ Chronic back pain
Pain that persists for 12 weeks or more, sometimes continuing even after the initial cause has resolved.

➡️ Referred or radiating pain
Pain that travels, such as down the leg, often linked to nerve involvement.

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

Understanding your pain is the first step to getting back to feeling good.

Spinal Health Month (1–30 June) is a national initiative highlighting the growing impact of back pain on both physical and mental health.

With over 6.1 million Australians affected by musculoskeletal disorders, and back pain a leading cause of disability, the need for prevention and early intervention has never been greater.

Back pain doesn’t just affect mobility - it can also contribute to stress, fatigue and reduced quality of life, creating a cycle that impacts mental wellbeing.

Adjust your thinking this June and join the Spinal Health Movement.
