Despite the ongoing challenges experienced by populations around the world as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 World Spine Day Competition attracted the interest of millions as local organizers embraced the theme of Back2Back.

Held each year on October 16, the WFC has coordinated World Spine Day since 2008. Thought to be the largest global public health event dedicated to promoting spinal health and wellbeing, World Spine Day is observed by health professions and public organizations concerned with spine care.

The theme of Back2Back reflected the need to reset and refocus on spinal pain and disability as part of the global burden of disease. With an estimated 540 million people in the world suffering with low back pain at any one time, it remains the leading cause of years lived with disability.

The WFC's annual World Spine Day competition drew entries from around the world. "Winner of the second prize in the category went to the Chiropractic Doctors Association of Hong Kong, which reached millions of consumers with a program of advertising on public transport and a series of events promoted through a range of media sources," reported by Quarterly World Report of World Federation of Chiropractic.

The World Spine Day Organizing Committee and Judge Panels consisted of Danielle Wiesner, Kelly McCormack, Lean Swaenpoel, Rebekah Wilks and Richard Brown. Committee Chair, Dr. Richard Brown, said, "Public health initiatives like World Spine Day are critical in raising awareness, providing information and empowering the public to care for their spines. For spine health experts, World Spine Day provides a perfect opportunity to meaningfully contribute and proactively participate in their communities."

"We are honored to receive 3 WFC prizes this year. New York Medical Group (Hong Kong) and Children Chiropractic Foundation also received first prize and recommended prize in the private clinic category. Our achievement is not only the prize, it's the culture we created to embrace all organizations in Asia. We would like to thank all those who participated in the 2020 World Spine Day competition for their enthusiasm and support of this event," said by Dr Eric Chun Pu Chu, Chairman of Chiropractic Doctors Association of Hong Kong.
