New research reveals around 22 million people suffered back pain in the last year - just under half of all UK adults (45 percent)[1]. More than one in four UK adults - nearly 13 million people - suffered from knee pain in the last year.
- around a half of sufferers feel that treatment options are limited (54 percent back, 47 percent knee)
- whether or not a treatment is non-surgical is an important factor in treatment selection for around eight in ten of those who have used/received some kind of treatment (82 percent back, 77 percent knee)
- in the last year, around half of those who have taken any time off work due to their pain have taken a week or more off (49 percent back, 51 percent knee).
