Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in the United States.

Research indicates that approximately 80% of individuals will experience low back pain at some point in their lives, with up to 40% affected in any given year. Acute low back pain often emerges from previously existing chronic dysfunction, presenting itself as sudden pain. Chronic low back pain typically results from cumulative trauma accrued through repetitive movements or sustained postures. Common activities contributing to low back pain include bending and twisting, sitting for extended periods, lifting heavy objects, and experiencing traumatic events such as falls. Understanding these factors is essential for prevention and effective management of low back pain.
