This Company Could Compensate You Up to $900 — Just for Having Back Pain

If I asked you to name the top reasons people miss work, what would you guess?

A seasonal illness, perhaps? Childcare, eldercare, even stress would probably make the list, right? They’d all be correct. But there’s an even bigger one…

Would you guess back pain?

Back pain is one of the most popular reasons for missed work, second only to the common cold, according to some studies.

That’s pretty terrifying, considering we’re literally talking about the backbone of our existence. Your back is central to pretty much anything you want to do every single day.

When it’s overcome with pain, you’re rendered practically useless.
