If back injuries and back pain are so common, why doesn't the medical community do more to educate the public?

Back care education is often a large part of rehabilitation and treatment following a back injury. The type of education that is the most effective has been the subject of studies, but no firm outcome has been determined.

Employers whose employees do activities that can result in back injuries often have back injury prevention information available, however, that may not be enough. The general public can ask their physicians or at a local physiotherapist for literature or information on preventing back injuries. There is also a great deal of information on back injury prevention available on-line on the Internet.
