It is estimated that 80% of the human race experiences low back pain at least once throughout their lifetime. Fifty percent of the working population admits to experiencing low back pain each year. Each year 15-20% of the people in the United States have complaints of low back pain. Two percent of the U.S. population is temporarily or chronically disabled by low back pain. Millions of workers suffer on-the-job injuries annually, which costs 100 billion dollars in lost wages, time, productivity and medical costs.
While there are a lot of treatment options available, many of these only address the symptoms and don’t target the actual cause of your pain or handle it for the long term.
The three main causes of low back pain and sciatica are
- Herniated Discs
- Arthritis
- Pelvis issues
Without identifying the correct cause of your pain there is no way to develop the proper treatment plan.
