Abstract:
Low back pain is so common that 8 of 10 people experience it at some time in their lives. Although the pain in your back may be severe, most low back pain is not due to a serious problem. There are many risk factors that increase the chances of getting low back pain. As we get older, we often feel more back pain due to weakened muscles and stiffening joints. New clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of low back pain were published in the April 2012 issue of JOSPT. The guidelines describe ways to treat back pain based on best research evidence.
