Abstract
In the United States, the most common reason for disability from work or for visiting a doctor is chronic back pain. In Germany too, spinal pain syndromes are the leading reason for sick days. According to Schöps and Hildebrandt, this pain is the main reason for hospital admission and accounts for 17% of all people going on disability and 40% of all patients undergoing in-patient rehabilitation.
