Authors' recommendations:
Low back pain (LBP) is a significant health problem and one of the leading reasons for physician visits in the United States. The lifetime prevalence of LBP for adults in the United States is between 60% and 80%. In most cases, LBP is temporary and can be relieved through rest and conservative therapies such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, and an appropriate exercise program. However, for 5% to 10% of patients, LBP becomes a chronic and disabling condition. Back surgery may be needed if conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief.
