Epidemic: chronic low back pain and a solution
Chronic pain is epidemic. Chronic pain management is traditionally accomplished in the United States using invasive and non-invasive treatments and mountains of pills. Over 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain related to disease, accidents, work related conditions, or acute entry. An additional 25 million Americans suffer from acute pain related to surgery. Chronic low back pain and headache are the two most common chronic pain conditions and account for the majority of missed days from work, in both the United States and abroad. In addition, chronic pain has a significant impact on the pain and suffering of the individual, their family, their friends, and the economy. Patients with chronic pain have difficulty finding doctors who can effectively treat their pain. Many current treatments are associated with extreme costs, time, and side effects.
Chronic back pain and specifically chronic low back pain can be either muscular or skeletal. Back, hip, leg discomforts are very common maladies. Disease or injury of the lone bull sacral portion of the spine, hip, are lower limbs causing pain and suffering and disability more frequently than disorders in any other part of the body. The most frequent cause of pain and disability are muscle and bone disease or dysfunction of lower back and lower limbs. The next most common problem is pain due to nerve damage or disease (neuropathic pain).
