The day is observed by medical professionals, public health advocates, exercise specialists, and rehabilitation specialists as back pain incidence and related disability are on the rise globally. This year's theme emphasises spine pain and impairment as a component of the global disease burden, acknowledges the need for access to high-quality, indispensable spinal health services globally, and preventive actions. In under-served neighbourhoods, there is a lack of access to high-quality spine care and rehabilitation, which can lead to irreversible deformity and the inability to work and support one's self and family. 

While efforts are made to increase the afflicted population's access to spine care, we should focus on preventing spine-related disorders and enhancing spine health by putting in place some measures, such as: 

-Avoid sedentary lifestyle which can result in decreased fitness. 

-Maintain good sitting and standing postures, particularly for people who spend a lot of time at a desk. Ergonomic modifications to the working environment to accommodate the employee.

-Sleep on a mattress firm enough to support your weight.

-Keep your weight under control, eat healthy foods, and lead an active lifestyle.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

​ jhsph.edu  ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US   The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons   1.  Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2.  Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In  fact  in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3.  There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions.  4.  In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor  like  Prodigy finance  and  Mpower     Depending on when you are making this decision , I would start from the beginning, so you can pick up f
