The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says back injuries are the most
expensive, and most common, work-related musculoskeletal disorder
in America. In a recent federal study, back injuries kept more than
444,000 people out of work for one or more days. On average, people
with back injuries missed six work days. However, almost 20 percent
of affected workers missed 31 work days or more. The bottom-line
impact is staggering: Estimates range from $20 billion to $50 billion.
