Back pain is second only to the common cold as the most frequent reason for visiting a physician and is the most common chronic pain syndrome in industrialized countries. It is mostly a self limited illness. As per the report of WHO, Low back pain (LBP) constituted 37% of all occupational risk factors which occupies first rank among the disease complications caused by work.
