PAULA CLAYBUGRG: Do you know what PrinceCharles,Seve Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have incommon?They all suffer from chronic back pain.Infact,bad backs are one of the most common healthproblems today,affecting people in all walks oflife.The most recent available figures show thatabout a quarter of a million people are incapacitatedwith back pain every day.
And many sufferers don't know the cause or the solution to their problem.
The majority of our patients at the clinic tend to be women.They are especially vulnerablebecause of pregnancy but also because of osteoporosis,which I personally believe to be themajor cause of problems for women.
