Back Pain Study

Thursday, October 30, 2008 by Indiana Spine Group

Recently the North American Spine Society (NASS) conducted a study entitled Back Pain in America.  This Pulse Opinion Research study completed in April 2007; concluded the following: 

  • One out of three Americans indicated that they suffer from back pain daily or nearly every other day.
  • One in ten people say that they have constant back pain; 26% indicated that they have been sidelined with back pain for at least a day.
  • Lower back pain is the number one type of back pain; 59% of Americans complain of lower back pain.  This is followed by 16% with ongoing neck pain, and 19% who suffer from mid-back pain.
