AB  - More  than  60%  of  people  in  developed  countries  will  experience  spinal  pain  at  some  time  in  their  lives.  Back  pain  is  the  most  common  complaint  of  patients  referred  to  pain  clinics.  The  pain  is  nonspecific  in  about  85%  of  the  cases,  and  onset  of  symptoms  is  most  often  between  the  ages  of  35  and  55  years.  According  to  some  sources,  15%  to  45%  of  all  adults  experience  lower  back  pain,  and  1  in  20  people  present  with  a  new  episode  annually.  Back  pain  absorbs  approximately  40%  of  the  cost  of  workers’  compensation,  which  was  estimated  as  $24  billion  in  1990  and  is  considerably  higher  today.
