Foreword
Chronic pain is one of the most common diseases worldwide. In Germany, more than a third of the population suffers from back pain or headaches. About 70 % have back pain at least once a year and thus account for 15 % of all working days. The cause of back pain can be divided into structural and functional disorders. Structural disorders include degenerative changes such as arthrosis. Functional disorders are accompanied by malpositions and limited mobility. 90 % of patients suffer from functional disorders such as unspecific back pain. Statistical studies show that less than 2 % of patients who attend primary care appointments do not have experience serious structural changes. A functional disorder is indicated by pain symptoms of less than two weeks, back pain independent of exercise, no pain radiation distally of the knee and a functional induced difference in leg length.
