Many people are unaware of the significance of their spine, yet it is one of the most common reasons people seek medical attention. In addition to providing structure and support, the spine also protects the spinal cord and nerves, and plays a key role in mobility. An estimated eight out of 10 people will be affected by back pain at some point in their life, limiting their activity, causing chronic pain and having a devastating effect on the quality of life.
