🌍 ADVANCING AWARENESS & ACCESS TO CHIROPRACTIC CARE 🌍

With an estimated 120,000 chiropractors worldwide, the majority practice in North America, while access remains limited in many regions, especially in Africa and Asia.

At WFC, we are committed to expanding awareness, utilization, and integration of chiropractic internationally. By advocating for greater utilization in health systems, we support the essential role of chiropractors in managing neuromusculoskeletal disorders—including low back pain, the leading cause of disability worldwide.

As a global organization, we are dedicated to advancing awareness of chiropractic, including the education and training of chiropractors, their scope of practice, and their expertise in managing these conditions. This will help increase the integration of chiropractic services and improve patient outcomes worldwide.

We also support the drive to eliminate silos in healthcare and believe in the value of integrating chiropractic services into a multidisciplinary approach, while being mindful that collaboration can occur regardless of a chiropractor's individual practice circumstances.

Together, we can bridge the gap in care and ensure more people benefit from chiropractic services. 🤝

According to the World Health Organization low back pain (LBP) guideline, pharmacological intervention showed a low level of evidence for an intervention of choice for treating LBP.

Chiropractic care is a drug-free approach to pain management - just another reason why your patients should choose chiropractic first!

It’s almost back to school!

Let’s unpack a checklist on how to select the correct backpack for your needs:

1. Firstly, consider the purpose for which the backpack is intended.
Different activities may require different types of backpacks (e.g. daypack, laptop backpack, hiking backpack).

2. Consider the size of the backpack based on your needs. A smaller, compact backpack may be suitable for daily commuting, while a larger one may be needed for sports equipment or a laptop and heavy textbooks.

3. Ensure the backpack is comfortable to wear. Look for padded shoulder straps, a padded back, and possibly a hip belt for distributing weight evenly.

4. Opt for a backpack with multiple compartments for better organisation and even weight distribution.

If you need further advice on the best backpack to use, consider contacting your local CASA-registered chiropractor: https://
