Interesting List! You can find more tables and interactive data about health care costs at the agency's website. How many of these things can physical therapists help with? I find it interesting that a natural event has made the list.
What I really wonder, however, is how much "back problems" could be reduced by proper management of this condition including direct patient access to physical therapists as opposed to primary care physicians.
