DESCRIPTION

Spine-related disorders (SRDs) present a significant and multifaceted public health challenge. Within the United States, SRDs account for the greatest portion of healthcare expenditures and contribute to more disability than any other group of conditions. Understanding the societal implications of SRDs requires not only a focus on those individuals experiencing spine pain but also an understanding of the far-reaching impact on families, caregivers, workplaces, healthcare systems, and the government.
Further complicating the situation is the complex interplay of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that contribute to the overall burden of SRDs. It is here that disparities in access to effective treatment options and other social determinants of health significantly impact an individual's overall well-being and intersect with other important public health issues such as depression, anxiety, obesity, and the opioid crisis.
Addressing this societal burden requires a comprehensive approach including primary and secondary prevention, access to effective treatments, and support for individuals and families affected by spine pain. Chiropractors are well positioned to play a significant role in addressing the burden of SRDs by providing culturally competent and timely access to effective pain management, exercise prescription, patient education, and fostering interprofessional collaboration with other healthcare providers.

Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to describe the prevalence and impact of spine-related disorders on healthcare expenditures and disability rates and their effect on individuals, families, caregivers, workplaces, healthcare systems, and the government.
2. Participants will be able to identify how disparities in access to care and social determinants of health exacerbate the impact of SRDs and how these disorders intersect with broader public health issues.
3. Participants will be able to describe the role of chiropractors in mitigating the societal impact of SRDs.
