Low Back Pain
If you're suffering from lower back pain you're not alone. More than 80% of North Americans will at some
time in their life suffer from the disabling confines of lower back pain.
According to experts, lower back pain is the number one disability culprit in workers' compensation claims
and accounts for more than $50 billion annually in the US through medical care and lost production. In
addition, the latest research shows most lower back problems which cause low back pain do not fully resolve
without extensive treatment and proper rehabilitation, contrary to previous beliefs.
The chiropractic doctor is unique in the health care field in that much of the training in chiropractic
colleges is specifically aimed at identifying and successfully treating and managing lower back
conditions. General medical practitioners generally lack adequate training in this area and have not
learned the skills necessary to most effectively identify and treat most back conditions.
