Low back pain is the largest cause of disability worldwide and it makes up most of what I see in clinical practice. So for those of you who suffer from low back pain (if you are reading this I imagine you have experienced it!) know that you are not on your own with it. Low back pain affects up to 84% of people at some point in their lives. Unfortunately for 11% of males and 16% of females low back pain ends up being long-term.
