The current approach in managing low back pain leaves a lot to be desired.

•The risk of a poor treatment outcome is higher than ever before.

•The incidence of chronic low back pain has risen 64% since the year 2000.

•BUT..the actual percentage of people experiencing “new” episodes of back pain has remained unchanged.

•Permanent disability is also on the rise.

•Even “first time” low back pain patients face up to a 45% chance of a less than optimum outcome with the care they receive.
