Common Causes of Neck and Back Pain

Wednesday, April 20th 11:30-12:15 PM – Promenade 3

 

Almost every person will have to deal with neck or back pain at some point in their life. The cause can be something as straightforward as a muscle strain. Or there could be a deeper abnormality, such as a disc herniation or spinal stenosis. In this talk we will discuss how to differentiate between the different underlying causes. We will also address some common questions: When should someone be concerned about neck and back pain? When should someone seek a physician? What testing is expected? What treatments are available? What recovery time is expected?

Objectives:

  • The learner will be able to differentiate back pain as it relates to muscle strains and common injuries vs. back pain as it relates to a deeper abnormality, such as a disc herniation or spinal stenosis.
  • The learner will be able to identify the different underlying causes of back pain and when should someone be concerned about neck and back pain.
