Low back pain is an extremely common symptom in populations worldwide and occurs in all age groups, from children to the elderly population.
Most episodes of low back pain are short-lasting with little or no consequence, but recurrent episodes are common and low back pain is increasingly understood as a long-lasting condition with a variable course rather than episodes of unrelated occurrences.
Low back pain is a complex condition with multiple contributors to both the pain and associated disability, including psychological factors, social factors, biophysical factors, commodities, and pain-processing mechanisms.
