2. Back Injuries Statistics

• 25% of low back injuries account for 95%
of costs of low back injuries
• NIOSH- 70% of general public will have
back pain in their lifetime
• 80% of back pain caused by inadequate
exercise
• Back injuries account for 25% of all WC
claims and 33-44% of all WC costs

3. Spinal Column

4.

The spine is made up of 33
vertebrae. The upper 24 vertebrae
are separated by a jelly filled
layered ligaments called disks.
These disks act as shock
absorbers for the spine.
The facet joints are the back part
of the vertebrae that form the
channel for the spine.
The lumbar region are the five
large vertebra composing the lower
back, allowing the back to bend
forward and back.

If you are out of
physical shape can
also result in increased
loads when we
improperly lift.
