Persistent Low Back Pain (PLBP)

PLBP refers to low back pain that persists for more than 3 months. It is the most common type of back pain and the leading cause of disability in the world. PLBP has the highest health care expenditure of any other condition. It is most common among 40-80 year olds which is the fastest growing age group in most western countries. The severity of back pain and risk of disability increases with age and is associated with higher rates of depression. This condition can lead to a decrease in physical activity and significant decline in overall health.
