The Back Pain Problem
Did you know that back pain costs Americans over $50 billion
dollars annually? That amount of money is more than the economies of over 90
different countries and the net company worth of Uber or Paypal. With $50
billion dollars, you could purchase all 32 teams in the NFL, and still have
enough left over to purchase 15 NBA franchises!
In other words, treatment options are not only a pain in the
back, but also a pain on your wallet.
Also, the cost associated with back pain is not the only
legitimate expense, injuries to the back can also cripple your productivity.
According to the American Chiropractic Association, back pain is one of the
leading causes of missed work among Americans. So not only is your back pain
hurting your wallet with expensive treatments, it is also costing you valuable
work time to help pay for treatments.
