Abstract

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is among the most common disorders leading to inability to work in industrialized countries, despite (or because of?) an armada of doctors trying to treat it. Ten years ago, anyone saying that these patients "neglect" the back would have been considered crazy; we were convinced that the opposite was the case, that they concentrate on their back and are highly aware of their pain.
