World Spine Day

World Spine Day is October 16th

World Spine Day is a part of the Bone and Joint Decade Action Week which occurs each year in October. The Chiropractors at Price Health Center in Waterloo treat spinal disorders everyday. Spinal disorders, such as back pain, neck pain, scoliosis and disc disease, are common, and they can have a profound effect on a person’s overall health, impacting a person’s ability to work, to enjoy everyday activities and even disrupting healthy sleep patterns.
