http://sundialclinics.co.uk Many people with low back pain get the wrong care, causing harm to millions across the world and wasting valuable health care resources. Why is this still happening? We know what works for back pain but unproven and unhelpful and unnecessary care is routine. 
Back pain affects all age groups from children to the elderly and can be profoundly disabling to some. Someone with back pain can’t exercise as much as they would like so conditions like obesity and heart disease are made worse. People with chronic back pain also suffer from more mental health problems. Depression and social isolation are worse in people with long-term joint pain.
Disability from low back pain is highest in working-age groups worldwide. It is the most frequent cause of sick leave and early retirement in Europe and accounts for more lost workdays than any other musculoskeletal condition. It is time to get serious about back pain.

This is my part in a global campaign to solve this problem.
