SENIOR Magazine – Jennifer H Zahn, MD, Texas Spine, Orthopedics and Rehabilitation discusses Clinical Back Pain
Clinical back pain affects 212 million adults ages 18 and over. About 70-85% of Americans experience back pain at some time in their lives, and about a third of adults experience some back pain each year. Of these individuals, about 40% of people report they have experienced back pain in the past month. Finally, and even more disturbing, 7-14% of adults in the US report some restriction of their daily activities due to back pain in the past 12 months.
