Chronic lower back pain (CLBP) is the second leading cause of disability worldwide. The prevalence of CLBP in adults has grown significantly over the last ten years.
A complex problem with no universally accepted treatment guidelines, CLBP can impair a person's ability to function normally and work, and it can also lead to other psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
