What is pаtеllоfеmоrаl раіn syndrome?
According to the Global Burden of Disease 2010, low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. In fact, back pain is considered as one of the main reasons for the absence of work and also the second most common reason for visiting doctors frequently. About a half of the working Americans say that they suffer from back pain every year and totally, about 80% of Americans admit that they have suffered from back pain at least once in their life. Anyhow out of this 80 %, many are females.
The Americans spend at least $50 billion every year just to manage back pain, and this is only for the cases that are easily identified. Although many individuals suffer from this condition, the records show that most of the back pains are mechanical and non-organic, meaning that it is not due to an underlying serious medical condition.
Who are at a risk of suffering from back pain?
Back pain can affect individuals of any age. But, it commonly affects adults in the ages between 35 – 55 years. Due to tear and wear effects of the aging process, it is quite common for older adults to suffer from back pain. While active individuals get these back pains a little later than the ones who live a passive life, age is anyhow related to this condition and the more you advance in age, the risk of experiencing a back pain increases. Anyhow, this does not mean that young adults or teenagers are not at risk.
