The Back and Spine Center at Martin Memorial will be holding a free screening and seminar on Saturday, Sept. 25 to discuss causes of and treatments for back pain.
Back pain will affect an estimated 85 percent of Americans at some point in their lives, and lower back pain is one of the five most common reasons people visit a doctor. To help people learn more about this common but potentially debilitating problem, three board-certified neurosurgeons from the Back and Spine Center will hold a seminar discussing the causes of back and neck pain, the range of treatments available, as well as minimally invasive treatment options the center can provide.
Immediately following the seminar, a brief spinal screening examination will be performed by a physician assistant and physical therapist. One-on-one consultations will be available after the screening, and follow-up appointments will be scheduled on site if needed.
The event will be held at the Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center, located at 501 E. Osceola Street in Stuart. The seminar begins at 8 a.m., followed by the screening session from 9 to 11 a.m. Refreshments will be provided.
Space is limited and a reservation is required. Please call 1-866-361-HOPE (4673) to reserve a spot.
