Anwar is not suffering in pain alone for research has shown that almost 80% of adults have experienced spinal pain at some time or other in their lives. Orthopaedic clinics give a figure of 30% for those suffering from lower back pain, while some chiropractors claim that 30% of patients between 30 and 50 years old with lower back pain and pain in their legs have disc-related problems.
