🚨 Back pain is draining Australia’s future — and it doesn’t have to.
A new study from Monash University has revealed that chronic back pain will cost the Australian economy a staggering $638 billion in lost productivity over the next 10 years. That’s 4.6% of our GDP — gone. By 2033, 3.2 million Australians are expected to be affected.
Here’s the kicker: if we could reduce chronic back problems by just 10%, we’d add $41.4 billion back into our economy.
💊 But here’s the truth: painkillers and anti-inflammatories don’t fix the problem. They only mask it.
💡 At Lamp Chiropractic, we believe prevention is better than cure. That means addressing the root cause early, before pain becomes chronic and life-changing.
✅ We offer free postural assessments to help you take the first step toward long-term spinal health. Don’t wait until the pain dictates your life — take action now.
