Abstract

Chronic pain is one of the most common pain syndromes and it is prevalent among all ages worldwide (Tsang et al., 2008; Jackson et al., 2015)
Paid high costs towards healthcare management (medication, hospital visits, alternative medicine etc.) (Andrew, Derry, Taylor, Straube, & Philips, 2014) and loss of productivity (sick leave, problems in return to work or full duty) (Dueñas, Ojeda, Salazar, Mico, & Failde, 2016)
Poses great implications to the population and healthcare system and burdens the local economy (Philips, 2009)
World Health Organization reported 5-15% of low back pain patients ended up having chronic low back pain (CLBP)
No local study in Hong Kong was found in studying Disease Burden of CLBP
