Mechanoreceptive Pain: According to the CDC, “more than 50% of U.S. adults (125 million) had a musculoskeletal pain disorder in 2012.”
“More than 40% of adults with a musculoskeletal pain disorder used a complementary health approach for any reason in 2012. This was significantly higher than use among persons without a musculoskeletal pain disorder (24.1%). Use of complementary health approaches for any reason among persons with neck pain or problems was more than twice as high as use among persons without these problems.”
