Back Care Awareness Week: How the British Chiropractic Association supports UK’s back health

What the report did show is that the UK public is investing its efforts into preventative care, with 60% using exercise to manage their back and joint pain. The study also found that:Almost a quarter (22%) of British people have taken up to 5 months off work due to their bone and joint pain. Over half (52%) of British people have lived with bone and joint pain for more than 12 months. A third of British people (33%) haven’t seen a GP to treat their bone and joint pain as they struggled to get an appointment. Through the Patient Charter BCA chiropractors provide reassurance to their patients and that they will empower them to make an informed decision about their treatment.
