Back Pain Affects Your Company’s Bottom Line

Back Pain Affects Your Company’s Bottom Line-

1. Worldwide, back pain is the single leading cause of disability, preventing many people from engaging in work & everyday activities.
2. Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work. Half of all working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year, adversely affecting productivity. Back pain accounts for more than 264 million lost work days per year; two work days for every full-time U.S. worker.
3. Back pain is the third most common reason for doctor’s office visits. Most cases of back pain are mechanical - meaning they are not caused by serious medical conditions, e.g., infection, fracture, or cancer.
4. Worldwide, years lived with disability caused by low back pain have increased by 54% between 1990 & 2015.
5. When combined, direct & indirect low back pain expenses are between $85 billion & $238 billion. It’s estimated that 97% of back pain cases are mechanical. Many people will attempt to relieve their pain with prescriptions & rest. These methods may provide short-term help but do not have lasting effects because they do not restore normal mechanical motion. This is where chiropractic care excels.
