Is it back pain a public problem?

Missed workdays

Back pain is a great problem in humanity, even like common cold.

Fortunately, only 5% to10% of cases will become chronic but these chronic conditions account for 90% of the healthcare expenditures for back pain.
Other episodes of back pain resolve with time: approximately 50% of patients will experience relief within two weeks and 90% within three months.
