It bothers—and sometimes debilitates—an estimated 80 percent of Americans at some time during their adult lives. And low back pain shows no sign of going away, despite current research into its causes and potential cures. This program examines the ongoing health issue through case studies, interviews with medical experts, and animated graphics showing spinal anatomy, movement, and conditions. Highlighting the major factors that contribute to low back pain, the program discusses the different levels of the disorder—acute, recurrent, and chronic—and a variety of treatments, including physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, and both compression and fusion surgery.
