Back pain is as much a part of the human condition as the common cold. In fact, 8 out of 10 adults will experience an acute episode of back pain at some point in their lifetime. Back pain is the second most common cause of missed workdays due to illness and the most common cause of disability.
Fortunately, most episodes of back pain resolve with time: approximately 50% of patients will experience back pain relief within two weeks and 90% within three months.
