Abstract

Throughout Western industrialized countries, back pain has reached epidemic proportions, representing not only a medical, but also a political and economical problem. The most recent representative national health survey [1] enquiring about the occurrence of pain symptoms in as many as 13 body regions over the period of the last 7 days (seven-day prevalence) resulted in pain in the musculo-skeletal organs being cited most frequently, whilst clearly being headed by back pain (Fig. 1).
