According to Statistics Canada, back and neck problems are among the most chronic conditions that as many as 80% of the population will suffer from. This can be characterized by a range of symptoms including: pain, muscle tension or stiffness, and numbness, tingling, weakness and/or burning that often travels down the leg (sciatica). Often, medication or surgical intervention is the recommended treatment, however, many people are looking for non invasive alternatives that pose less of a risk to their health.
