Back pain and especially lower back pain is one of the most common problems people deal with. Over 620 million people deal with back pain every year worldwide and back pain causes people in the United States to lose over 83 million work days a year. Back pain costs billions in health care every year with lower back pain costing over $50 billion a year.
Back pain can be very debilitating and the most common treatments people use are over the counter pain killers, rest, heat, massage, physical therapy, injections, muscle relaxants, acupuncture, antidepressants, and surgery. Most of these only treat the symptom of back pain and do not fix the underlying cause of back pain.
