▪️Low back pain is very common. More than 80 out of 100 people have this condition at some point in their life. It can be a cause of worry, disability and time off work.

▪️Even though it can be distressing, low back pain is rarely linked with serious conditions. Most of the time, symptoms settle quickly. However, it's common to get pain that keeps returning. In some people, pain can last longer than a few weeks.

▪️There is no one cause of low back pain, but various things can contribute. These are called contributory factors. The factors are unique to you and your situation.
