Back and neck pain is extremely prevalent. Eight out of 10 Americans will experience a significant episode of back pain at some point in their lives. Ninety percent of single episodes of back pain become recurrent. While certain diseases and traumatic injury can cause back pain, research shows that the most common causes of back pain or injury are:
- Poor physical condition
- Poor posture
- Improper body mechanics
- Prolonged, repetitive use of incorrect bending or lifting techniques
