A survey Based Analysis of Low Back Pain and Best Practice Care
Main Article Content
Abstract
The main symptom of low back pain is pain. Pain does not meet the definition of impairment or abnormality, but if the individual actively aggravates pain and avoids or reduces his/her activities, pain may lead to disability. Nonspecific low back pain appears to be caused primarily by disrupted function or painful musculoskeletal dysfunctions. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides the most comprehensive definition: A disability is defined as any restriction or lack (due to impairments) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or range considered normal for a human being (WHO 1980). Back pain disability involves both physical dysfunctions and illness behavior. Motor and physiological activity are always involved in behavior, and physiological processes always have behavioral manifestations. Using survey-based analysis, we attempted to discover the causes and associated problems of low back pain in this study.
