Help For My Back

You are probably reading this because you have recurring or chronic low back pain. You’re not alone. Almost everyone has at least one episode of disabling back pain during their lifetime, and a large minority of Americans has frequent or chronic back pain. It’s the most common reason people miss work worldwide, and the third leading cause of trips to the doctor in the United States. Fortunately, with or without medical treatment, most back pain resolves within weeks. The video on this page is an excellent overview of this common condition.
