What percentage of Americans experience disc herniation's?
Studies have shown that 40% of symptomatic patients will show a irritated disc or spinal compression issue in the lower back on a x-ray or MRI finding.

For instance, many injuries can build up over years and repetitive stress can build over years as well before pain presents itself.

Once the patient is experiencing intense pain, which we call "crisis mode," that's when they react. And example is when we have a clogged artery, when we have a clogged artery we do not experience pain until we are in crisis, which is a heart attack or stroke.
