Back Pain is Common Among Professional Drivers in Fanwood NJ

Using data collected from 800 taxi drivers, researchers report 54% had experienced an episode of back pain in Fanwood during the prior year.

Factors associated with an elevated risk for back pain among professional drivers include longer daily driving duration, night shifts, and years worked in the industry.
