Most Americans (90% at some point in their life) will experience back (or neck) pain. The good news is that most cases of low back pain are not serious and will respond well to conservative treatments such as treatment by a physical therapist. Currently, 61% of back pain patients are prescribed opioids. With opioid abuse becoming an unprecedented national public health epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended safe alternatives, including physical therapy, to opioids for treating pain.
