Low back pain. Why is this a big deal? Well, same big deal we've been highlighting for many, many years. It is the leading cause of global disability for more than 20 years at this point, with a one year prevalence of near 40%. That means about 40% of the population will have back pain over the course of any given year. Now, here's what's real interesting. There is data suggesting that this prevalence has more than doubled over the past 20 years. That is a telling statistic. That means that what has been done over the last 20 years is not exactly working very well when we see that it has doubled over the last two decades. People should be getting healthier as time goes on, as they understand more about their bodies. And theoretically, if all of these advanced interventions were doing what they should be doing, we should see that dropping, not increasing. But that's obviously not the case.
