Back problems are prominent among the most common ailments instead. Not surprisingly, it is estimated that 80% of the world population suffers from back or neck pain during their lifetime. Furthermore, 50% of the active population suffers from neck or back pain at least once a year. It is one of the most frequent causes of occupational disease and the second most common reason for visiting a doctor, after the common flu.

To Echeveste Ana, from the Spanish Chiropractic Association (AEQ), "bad postural habits or a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the development of column problems, such as back pain, neck pain, scoliosis and herniated disc, among other disorders. All profoundly undermine the overall health of a person, affecting their ability to work, sleep and enjoy daily activities, and other aspects of daily life. "

According Echeveste, "people with back or neck pain often enter a vicious circle because his poor health leads to more inactivity and poor posture. But often it's easy to prevent both and get out of that circle. The key is the alignment of the spine "

"A healthy spine is essential for the proper functioning of the organs, something that people tend to be unaware. Even if there is not yet pain, looking after the spine is very important, because the discomfort or the pain is often what the last to appear, "adds Echeveste. "In many cases, the way to fix it is to restore the normal position of the vertebrae using chiropractic care ideal for the column and thus to optimize the functioning of our entire body."
