Lower back pain is very common, with 80% of the population likely to experience low back pain at some point during their lifetime. Most acute back pain, despite the nature or the severity of pain, is the result of a simple sprain, strain or irritation. The prognosis is excellent, with most seeing significant improvements in the first few weeks and completely resolved within 3 months.
