80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives and 30% of people are living with low back pain right now. In Canada, it is estimated that medical expenditure on low back pain costs $6 billion to $12 billion annually and that does not include costs to society such as time off work, lost productivity and disability payments. Back pain can present as anything from a mild ache to extremely debilitating pain. Although the causes of back pain can be simple or serious, the majority of cases are mechanical in nature, related to the moving and working parts of the spine such as the joints, intervertebral discs, ligaments and surrounding muscles. These injuries often occur as a result of bending, twisting and lifting movements or develop slowly over many years.
