Low back pain continues to plague people. It is stated that every person will have an episode of low back pain in their lives. Back injuries have been the leading cause of disability in the United States for people younger than 45 years old. Furthermore low back pain has been the most expensive health care problem for the 30- to 50-year-old age group accounting for 23% of total workers' compensation payments in 1995 (estimated to be $8.8 billion).1,2 Chiropractic care is a logical solution for many of these people suffering from low back pain. Many studies have not only shown the efficacy of chiropractic care for chronic and acute low back pain, but have also shown positive results in long-term follow-up studies. 3,4 Bottom line, when faced with low back pain, your options are limited. A conservative, non-invasive approach should always be explored first.
