Back pain is a condition which affects a large majority of people at some point during their lifetime. About 80% of the population will experience low back pain during their life, which adds a stifling effect to daily routines. The economic numbers of back pain are staggering. Best estimates state that $100-200 billion of economic cost to the economy occurs each year, mostly through lost wages and productivity. Back pain can affect people of all ages, although the chances of developing back pain get higher with age. There are a variety of risk factors and causes involved, and for the 25% the population who have dealt with low back pain over the past 3 months, help is available today.

Acute or Chronic Back Pain

Back Pain can be broadly categorized into two types:

Acute Pain

Begins suddenly and may last for up to 6 weeks.

 

Chronic Pain

May gradually get worse over a longer period of time, and does not resolve within 3 months. Ongoing pain and interference with daily life continues indefinately.

The 3 Most Common Cause of Back Pain

Strains are a leading cause of back pain, and examples include accidents such as slips and falls, sports injuries or car accidents, or from performing strenuous tasks around the house or at work.
