Fourteen things you should know about back pain 1.

Also, despite everything we know about back pain, ninety percent of us are going to have a disabling episode at some point in our lives. It is difficult to predict which individual person will develop back pain. Strength, fitness, and back x-rays are not good predictors. On the other hand, job characteristics are predictors of back pain.
