Why is back pain important? 

 

The cost of back pain is significant...

 

"On average, health care expenditures for individuals with back pain have been estimated to be about 60% higher than those without back pain."  Luo X, Pietrobon R, Sun SX, Liu GG, Hey L. “Estimates and patterns of direct health care expenditures among individuals with back pain in the United States.” Spine. 2004;29:79-86. 

 

According to the American Chiropractic Association...

• 33% of adult workers had a back problem severe enough in the last five years that they sought some kind of professional treatment
• 50% of adult workers had some back pain within the last year
• 80% of adult workers can anticipate having back pain at some time in their lives
