Back Pain

Believe it or not, back pain is the leading cause of disability in Canada, even over conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Over 80 percent of people will experience back pain in their lifetime and if not dealt with correctly, will have it re-occur frequently. Unfortunately, even with all the advances in health care technology and research, the prevalence of back pain continues to remain high. Medication can be a valuable tool in managing an intense period of back pain, but it does not address the cause of the problem and it is certainly not the best strategy for preventing back pain in the future. Most recently, the mistreatment of low back pain has been a prominent factor in the Canadian opioid crises.
