Cost of Low Back Pain
Rimpiläinen, Sanna
This is a short research report on the economic cost of low back pain. Back pain can arise suddenly or gradually, often due to work-related factors like fixed positions or repetitive movements. Poor posture, uncomfortable positions, and awkward movements can also contribute. Low back pain, or lumbago, is the most prevalent type, with 95% affecting the lower back. Chronic low back pain is a frequent complaint in pain clinics.
