There are about one million new case of back pain per year and the average general practitioners sees about 50 acute backs per year. Many people do not consult, however 10 - 15 million working days are lost per year because of back pain. 80% recover in 3- 4 weeks however in 50% of patients there is a recurrence within the next 5 years. About one third of patients are referred for specialist opinion but only 1:200 of the original sufferers 
and 1:60 of those referred undergo surgery. Several studies have shown that rest, in the early stages, reduces the overall time away for work.Tags:
