Episode 12: Low back pain fact 2: Getting older is not a cause of back pain with patient voice, Jan.

Low back pain is the worlds most disabling health condition and costs more than cancer and diabetes combined. A scientific journal article covering 10 facts about low back pain was recently published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2019-101611). The origins and motivations for that paper, as well as patient stories were covered in episode 4 and 5 of the podcast. This episode covers in detail low back pain fact number 2: 'Getting older is not a cause of back pain' with some of the authors: Professor Peter O’Sullivan and Kevin Wernli.
