FIGURE 3.

The average reduction in low back pain (LBP) when a given unimodal treatment eliminates the single largest contributing factor to LBP (Max Factor Tx) (solid black line) compared to a multimodal treatment eliminating a number of arbitrarily selected factors (1 Factor Tx, 2 Factor Tx, …, 5-Factor Tx) (lines with symbols). These results are plotted for different scenarios (number of total factors contributing to LBP) on the horizontal axis. Please note that 100% reduction in LBP is expected when a number of factors targeted by a treatment is the same as the total number of factors contributing to LBP.
