World Spine Day 2026

🌀 Today, we join the global community in celebrating World Spine Day, the world’s largest public health initiative dedicated to raising awareness of spinal health and wellbeing.

🧐 Did you know that an estimated one billion people worldwide experience spinal pain? Back pain remains the leading cause of disability across all age groups, affecting quality of life, mobility, work productivity, and overall wellbeing. World Spine Day highlights the importance of prevention, education, and access to quality spine care.

This year’s theme, “Invest in Your Spine”, encourages action in three key areas:

✅ Prevention: promoting physical activity, healthy posture, and ergonomic habits

🏃 Rehabilitation: supporting multidisciplinary care and recovery strategies

🏥 Policy & Access: advocating for equitable access to spine care and rehabilitation services

At the ENDOTARGET EU Project, we recognise that musculoskeletal health is closely linked to overall wellbeing. Through our research on chronic inflammation, rheumatic diseases, and the gut–joint axis, we aim to contribute to better understanding, prevention, and management of conditions that affect mobility and quality of life.
