Low Back Pain - separating fact from fiction

Low back pain is a common condition that affects 80% of people at some time in their lives. This means that you are highly likely to have an episode of low back pain at some stage in your life. Low back pain is also a condition that we call episodic - meaning it can come and go through out your life. We also know that only 1% of low back pain is caused by serious pathology, so although painful and often debilitating, most episodes of low back pain will usually settle over time with the correct treatment and advice. Below is a video from Professor Peter O'Sullivan, separating the facts from the fiction about low back pain. Professor Peter O'Sullivan is a world leader in research on low back pain and this video along with other great information around low back pain can be found on his website www.pain-ed.com.
