Introduction[edit | edit source]

According to the book from the American College of Sports Medicine, “Low back pain is considered a major public health problem, with the lifetime prevalence reported as high as 84%.”[1] Integrative lifestyle medicine strategies such as whole foods and a plant-based diet, sustainable physical activity and mind-body exercises, restorative sleep, stress management, awareness and mitigation of substance abuse and addiction, establishing meaningful social networks and self-care may be a part of therapeutic interventions to help manage chronic lower back pain.[2]

Figure 1 shows various options for healthcare providers to consider for low back pain.
