Accra to host Spinal Awareness Week 2009.

FULL DETAILED SPEECH BY DR.BYRAN COX IN A PRESS CONFERENCE TO LAUNCH THE EVENT AT THE PRESS CENTRE IN ACCRA.

Chiropractic around the World and its founder Dr. Bryan Cox are proud to announce the 2009 Spinal Awareness Week will take place June 13th- 20th. The aim of Spinal Awareness Week is to provide free chiropractic care to Ghanaians while also educating the Ghanaian public about ways to strengthen their spines.

2008 was the inaugural Spinal Awareness Week, which was the first of its kind in West Africa. People all over Ghana were able to learn more about spinal health and over a thousand people were able to receive chiropractic care from a group of about 7 doctors.

This year’s event promises to be an even larger hit, as 14 doctors are coming from overseas to take part in the week. Included in the week will be the first ever Spinal Awareness Golf Classic, two Straighten Up Ghana youth events, four days of free chiropractic care for the public, as well as a church talk. The week of events has the support of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs.

There is no way that everyone here in Ghana can take part in our events. So to reach people who can’t reach our venues, Dr. Bryan Cox will also be using the various media channels to educate Ghanaians how to live a more spine friendly life. This way we can truly raise awareness throughout Ghana on such an important issue. This will take place in the weeks before the Spinal Awareness Week, as well as the week of our events.
Chiropractic around the World is a Ghanaian NGO that is dedicated to spreading spinal health around the world, starting with Ghana. It was founded by Dr. Bryan Cox in 2008 and organizes Spinal Awareness Week and its events
