Back pain is one of humanity’s most frequent complaints. In the U.S., acute low back pain (also called lumbago) is the fifth most common reason for physician visits. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.

I have been dealing with lower back pain from a herniated disk for years now. I have been undergoing chiropractic therapy, physical therapy, and epidural shots…as well as pain medication. I don’t think I would ever consider back surgery unless it was to a point where i couldn’t walk.
