Another Way of Thinking About Back Pain?

Interesting view on long-term back pain:

More than 1 in 4 adult Americans say they've recently suffered a bout of low-back pain. It's one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor. And more and more people are being treated for it.
America spends on back pain treatments. But many specialists say less treatment is usually more effective.
