Today is . This year’s theme, “Invest In Your Spine”, emphasizes the importance of proactive spinal care through movement, physical literacy, and lifestyle choices in promoting lifelong health and well-being.

In England, 34% of adults live with chronic pain - many from back pain.

We must reduce long waits for specialist treatment and ensure MSK patients have access to multi-disciplinary MSK professionals delivering integrated, high-quality care to tackle chronic pain effectively.

Back Care Awareness Week 2025 is here!

This year we’re focusing on the Stand:Stretch:Stride rule.

Many of us spend hours sitting at a desk or standing at work, which can lead to muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and back pain.

Sedentary lifestyles = major risk factor for conditions like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

But, the good news is that regular movement can reverse these risks.

A simple way to protect your back? The BCA’s Stand: Stretch: Stride rule.

Here’s what it means:

1️⃣Stand
Break up long periods of sitting. Stand regularly to keep your muscles engaged and your spine happy.

2️⃣Stretch
Release tension with regular stretches. Loosen tight muscles and improve joint mobility.

3️⃣Stride
Build walking and movement into your day. Short walks keep circulation flowing and energy up.

Considering chiropractic care, but not sure what to expect?

Whether it’s your first visit or you’re coming back after some time, we know new experiences can come with questions. That’s why we’ve put together a clear, step-by-step guide to help you feel informed, confident, and ready.

From consultation to personalised care plans — here’s what happens when you visit a chiropractor.

1. Health History & Consultation
Your chiropractor will begin by discussing your medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms. They’ll ask about previous injuries, daily activities, and any treatments you’ve tried.

This helps them understand the possible causes of your discomfort and determine whether chiropractic care is right for you.

2. Physical Examination
A thorough physical exam follows, assessing:

- Posture and spinal alignment
- Range of motion and flexibility
- Muscle strength and imbalances
- Reflexes and neurological function

3. Further tests (if needed)
If necessary, your chiropractor may recommend imaging tests, such as X-rays, to get a clearer picture of your spinal health.

These tests help rule out underlying conditions that may require a different approach to treatment.

4. Discussion of Findings & Care Plan
Once the assessment is complete, your chiropractor will explain their findings and recommend a tailored treatment plan. This may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Soft tissue therapy
- Postural advice
- Stretching and strengthening exercises

They’ll also discuss how many sessions may be needed and answer any questions you have.

5. First Treatment
In many cases, the first treatment session takes place that same day.
The most common technique used is spinal manipulation (also called an adjustment), where the chiropractor applies controlled pressure to specific joints to restore movement and relieve tension.

6. Self-care and Next Steps
Your chiropractor may provide lifestyle recommendations, exercises, or ergonomic advice to support your recovery. They’ll also schedule follow-up visits to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan.

If you’re curious about chiropractic care, speak to a registered chiropractor and discover how it could support your movement, mobility, and well-being.

It’s Chiropractic Awareness Week – and we’re celebrating 100 years of chiropractic care in the UK!

For a century, chiropractors have helped people feel better, move more, and live fuller lives. From relieving pain to restoring mobility, our profession has always been about supporting healthier, more active communities. And today, we’re more ready than ever to make a difference.

With NHS MSK waiting times reaching up to 24 weeks, we have the skills and capacity to treat an additional 200,000 patients a year – helping people recover faster and return to work sooner. The potential impact? An incredible £399 million in productivity gains annually – and that figure could reach £873 million by 2028.

As the UK’s largest body of regulated chiropractors, we’re proud of how far we’ve come – and even more excited for what’s ahead. This week is a celebration of our legacy, our leadership, and our future as a vital part of mainstream healthcare.

Here’s to 100 years of progress, and many more to come. Join us in celebrating by using and tagging us so we can amplify your message.
