Low back pain is by far one of the most common ailments ever experienced. Just about everyone deals with low back pain at one point in their life. For some, the lucky ones, perhaps, the pain is just for a day or two as a result of a particularly grueling day of yard work or a slip-and-fall accident that landed you flat on your bum with a bruise to prove it. For others, the low back pain is something that lingers for years and years, getting worse as a result of improper footwear or particularly unsupportive furniture, and never really healing or going away.

The Ideal Treatment For Low Back Pain
LOWER BACK PAIN IN THE UNITED STATES According to the National Institute for Health, the rates of low back pain have been steadily rising in the United States over the past 20 years. The study was conducted by medical researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Researchersconsultedwithmembersof theNorthCarolinacommunitywho experienced back pain to understand what caused their pain, how frequently they experience the pain, and what the severity of the pain is like.They found by talkingwithhouseholdmembersacross thestate that the incidenceof lowerback pain has increased significantly since the last time this survey was conducted, whichwas in1992.Since1992, thepercentageofpeoplecopingwith lowerback pain increased from just over three percent to well over 10 percent. This is a significant finding, especially when it was found that the increase in lower back pain remained constant across demographics. A further interesting finding is that of those who experience lower back pain, 84 percent opted to seek medical treatment toaddress thepain,whichwasan increaseofmore than10percent in 1992.Thismeans thatwhilemorepeopleareexperiencingbackpain,morepeople are also seeking treatment for that pain, though there is still an approximate 15 percent of the population who are coping with severe lower back pain without treatment.For those,seekingsupportfromaphysical therapistcouldsignificantly improve quality of life.

It isestimated thatone-halfofallAmericansexperience lowerbackpainannually, and it is considered to be the leading cause of workplace disability worldwide— not just in the United States. It is also one of the most common reasons that people miss work, and is the second most common reason that people visit the doctor’s office. When you put those two facts together, the cost of dealing with lower back pain really starts to add up. The average annual cost of dealing with back pain in the United States is $50 billion dollars. Unfortunately, a lot of those financial resources go into dealing with back pain through pain management and medication, but that is not an effective long-term solution for dealing with backpain.A farhealthierandcost-effectivesolution is throughphysical therapy.
