Management of Low Back Pain in Complex
The management of back injuries is complex and an improved approach to rehab for low back pain is urgently needed. Research has shown that treating doctors (especially physicians) are failing to diagnose most of the physical causes of backache (Spitzer, 1987). Medical research (by surgeons using nerve block techniques) has found that physicians are unable to detect the physical basis
of about 90% of all back pain cases (Finch, 1999). Their investigations suggest that in reality only a very small percent are of "unknown etiology" (McGill, 2002). Fortunately appropriate rehabilitation provides rapid recovery in most cases.

Your Fingers Work Hard!
Working as a data entry worker for an 8 hour day is equivalent to "walking 15-16 miles with your fingers" This was stated by a University of Utah Professor of Ergonomics in the early 1990's and puts the repetition of the keyboard as well as the mouse into "real" terms for workers!
