PY - 2004 T2 - Principles & Practice of Pain Medicine, 2e AB - In modern society, one would be hard-pressed to overestimate the impact of low back pain (LBP). The costs of this problem, in both human suffering and dollars, are staggering. Although figures vary widely, the lifetime prevalence of LBP is usually quoted as ranging from 60% to 85%, with an annual rate of about 5%.
