Low back pain is a condition that affects between 50% and 80% of the population every year.
Apart from the significant suffering it causes, spinal pain has an enormous economic impact, with estimated direct healthcare expenditures of $100 billion in the United States annually. When low back pain radiates into one or both legs, it is commonly called sciatica, also known as lumbar radiculopathy. Radiculopathy pain can either begin suddenly as a short-term problem (acute) or persist over a long period of time (chronic).
