Abstract
Chronic pain is defined by the International Association of the Study of Pain as, “pain that persists beyond normal tissue healing time, which is assumed to be three months” (CDC, 2018 p.2). Chronic pain can be in any part of the body, but is most commonly experienced in the mid-back, lower back, leg, and head, in the form of headache. It is estimated that 80 percent of the U.S. population has experienced at least one episode of back pain in their lifetime.
