If you have lower back pain, you are not alone.

31 million Americans experience low-back pain at any given time and low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide.

Back pain also has wider financial implications to patients and society. In the United States alone $50 billion a year is spent on low back pain treatment.

Most low back pain is short term and lasts few days to a few weeks. Chronic back pain is defined as pain that persists for 12 weeks or longer and can be more than just physical. It can have a profound effect on every aspect of your life.

Erectile Dysfunction can also have a profound effect on someone's life. Many people think ED is just an old person's problem or psychological problem, and roughly 40% of men in their 40s suffer from ED.

Today we discuss underlying conditions that can predispose people to low back pain and erectile dysfunction.

The good news is a common underlying condition can be treated with food and nutrition.
