With 38 years of age and 10 years of professional experience, neurosurgeon Julián Zuluaga, a specialist in spinal surgery, has become one of the brightest stars among the new generations of Colombian medicine: a national reference in the field of scoliosis and spinal diseases.

Despite his youth, Julian has achieved a convincing record of more than 20,000 hours of surgery, 28,000 patients seen in consultation and approximately 3,000 cases of success, with patients from Colombia, France, the United States, Canada, Peru, Puerto Rico, Curacao and Panama. And it is precisely this condition of specialist in the lumbar area that makes him a real authority to give his opinion and act on one of the greatest health crises expected in the coming years in the world: that which many are already calling the Pandemic of Back Pain.

In addition, Julian is already a university professor of Neurosurgery and works as a trainer of doctors for a multinational company specialized in the innovation of systems for spinal surgery. Perhaps one of the reasons for the increasing recognition of Julian Zuluaga is the quality and complexity of his success stories: from a young lecturer who fell from a fifth floor, fractured her spine and yet a year after surgery, could walk again; or the pilot who fell from a horse and was temporarily paraplegic but thanks to his speed and surgical skill, not only recovered his full mobility but could also return to his job as an aviator. It is precisely this medical trajectory, in addition to his constant research process that makes Julian an expert analyst of what could be one of the biggest global health crises of the coming years: the Pandemic of Low Back Pain.

THE PAIN OF 843 MILLION PEOPLE

Here the figures are alarming: in the year 2020 more than 619 million people in the world suffered from back pain and by 2050 the figure is estimated to reach 843 million, according to data from the GBD (Global Burden of Disease); the most complete epidemiological study at a global level, and whose results also confirm that back pain is currently the main cause of disability and absenteeism from work in almost all the countries of the world. All this suggests the imminent appearance of a global health, economic and social crisis that has so far not been given enough attention and which, according to Julian Zuluaga, has multiple causes: among them, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, poor posture and the excessive increase in fashionable but disastrous exercises for the spine, such as dead weight and weighted squats. He assures that this potential pandemic should be a top priority to research, prevent and confront; that's why he will soon launch a podcast and a book to share his research on what could become one of the worst health crises in the world. Quality and warmth, innovation and research... that is the style of Julián Zuluaga: a young master of Colombian medicine who has already become a true reference in the current fight against scoliosis and low back pain.
