New Research suggests that lower back pain is common in school-age American children, and rates only increase with age. By the time they're teenagers, nearly two out of five kids will have suffered lower back pain, but only 7 percent of teens with lower back pain seek care, said researchers from Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Most cases of lower back pain in youngsters are not serious, but they can affect school attendance and participation in gym class or sports.
