Lower back pain is a very common condition that can sometimes become disabling. Between 2004-2008, lower back pain accounted for 2.06 million visits to the Emergency Department in the U.S.
While some people recover quickly from such an episode, for others, the discomfort can last up to 3 months or even longer.
