Sibongile Mofokeng and Ms. Sedzani Mukhesi discuss World Spine Day, observed annually on October 16, which raises global awareness about spinal health and the prevention of spinal disorders. The day highlights the significant burden of spinal pain and disability worldwide, emphasizing the need for prevention, education, and better access to spinal care, especially in low- and middle-income countries where resources are limited. In South Africa, spine-related conditions are a leading cause of disability, affecting about 8% of the population living with disabilities. The 2025 theme, “Integrating Spinal Health into Policies and Wellness Initiatives,” urges governments and organizations to prioritize spinal health by incorporating it into public health, wellness, and workplace policies to improve rehabilitation and prevention efforts globally.
