Troubling Trends: Youth Back Pain on the Rise
We wouldn’t stop short of calling it a public health crisis
The fact that the demographic for back pain is shifting towards younger populations should cause great concern. Back pain and the associated problems are among the top contributors to disability in our society. If we see these problems affecting people at younger ages, then it follows that they may become disabled at an earlier age as well. So what are we to do about this worrying situation?
