It's no longer hard to see why back aches cost our country about 20 to 50 billion dollars each year from absence from work, insurance claims, and of course medical bills.

Why is this back problem spread all over, and what causes them? Usually, sprains, strains, and muscle spasms contribute to back pain. These in turn are caused by events such as heavy lifting, a fall, accidents, or even something as simple as stopping suddenly while driving.
