Beat Back Pain

About this event

The National Institute of Health estimates that between 80% and 90% of Americans will experience at least one episode of lower back pain in their lives, and it is the leading cause of work-related disability. Lower back pain is a broad symptom with many sources, some predominantly impacting younger individuals while other likely causes increase with age. Join physical therapist JT Dodge for an informative and accessible look at the common causes of back pain such as disc herniation, stenosis, and sciatica. He will explain some of the misconceptions surrounding back pain, as well as offer suggestions for methods to improve back pain symptoms as well as mitigate future risk. There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the program.
