Excerpt

Low back pain (LBP) is an acute or chronic pain in the lumbar or sacral regions [1], is highly prevalent and has substantial socioeconomic implications [2]. Jensen et al noted that low back pain is the second most common reason that patients seek medical care in the United States and that the estimated annual cost of related medical care is more than $8 billion [3]. Robertson noted also that the rate of low back–related disability has grown at a rate 14 times that of the population during the last 30 years [3]. …
