Lower back pain is one of the most common problems affecting our current and future patients. 80% of people will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives. According to the World Health Organization, back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and prevents people from not only working, but from doing everyday simple activities. While physically strenuous jobs and lifestyles are frequently associated with lower back pain, it's worth noting that the human body wasn't designed to sit. We're built to move, and nearly 40% of office workers will also experience lower back pain at some point. Sometimes, it can be something as simple as a sneeze that causes a patient's back to "go out."
