If you have back pain, neck pain or symptoms associated with a spinal problem you are not alone. The National Institute of Health estimates that seventy to eighty-five percent of all people have back pain at some point in their life while approximately fifty percent of the population will have evidence of degenerative changes in their cervical spine by the age of fifty. What's more, back pain is the most common reason why the average person has to take a day off work, avoid physical activity or exercise, or change their daily routine because their body hurts.
