Lower back pain is a widespread issue that affects millions globally. Research shows 60% of the adult population will have low back pain at some point in their lifetime (Campbell and Colvin, 2013), and low back pain accounts for 90–95% of cases of low back pain presenting to primary care (Bardin, 2017), so the good news is you are not alone. Lower back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that restricts movement and daily activities. Our clinicians at SPEAR have a wealth of experience rehabilitating lower back pain and are here to help you.
