Almost 90% of Americans are affected by back pain at some time in their lives and it is the leading cause of visits to the doctor. Low back pain is the most prevalent cause of disability in people under age 45, at a cost of more than $100 billion spent annually in its management. More than half of that is spent on surgical treatment.
The spine is actually composed of more than 30 bones (vertebrae) when you are a child, and 26 bones after some of the bones fuse when you become an adult. Together, these create a bony canal that surrounds and protects your spinal cord. Spinal nerves enter and exit this canal through openings formed from the vertebrae called the foramen.
Support structures of the spine (vertebrae) are the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Discs between the vertebrae, act as cushions to prevent the vertebrae from hitting one another when you walk, run or jump. Along with the spinal muscles, they allow your spine to twist, bend and extend. Your low back is especially vulnerable to injury and, therefore, pain because it is the area where most of your body weight is supported. Low back pain is one of the most debilitating forms of pain because we depend so much on our back to do every day things.
