October 16 marks World Spine Day, a global reminder of just how important spinal health is in our daily lives. From children hunched over school desks to workers spending long hours seated in offices, back pain has quietly become one of the most common health challenges worldwide.
At Clinix Dr SK Matseke Memorial Hospital in Diepkloof, Dr. Tshisikule, an Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon, treats spinal health not just as a career, but as a calling. With years of experience in both Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgery, he believes that education, care, and empathy can make all the difference in transforming lives.
“Back pain affects more than just your body , it impacts your entire quality of life,” says Dr. Tshisikule. “It can affect your work performance, your studies, and even your relationships. But with the right steps, it can be managed or even prevented.”
He emphasizes that maintaining a healthy spine begins with simple, consistent habits. Regular movement, good posture, and mindful lifting are small actions that go a long way. “Many people wait until the pain becomes unbearable,” he adds, “but early care can prevent years of discomfort.”
Dr. Tshisikule’s mission is not just to help patients walk again, but to help them live fully again, restoring not only mobility, but confidence and joy.
This World Spine Day, Clinix encourages everyone to take one small but meaningful step towards a pain-free future. Whether it’s booking a spine health check or simply making posture-conscious changes at work or home, the journey to better health begins with awareness.
For those seeking professional guidance, consultations with Dr. Tshisikule are available at Clinix Dr SK Matseke Memorial Hospital, 23967 Chris Hani & Immink Road, Diepkloof, Zone 6, Soweto.
