PROGRAM DETAILS

Four out of five Americans will experience back problems at least once in their lives. Management of back pain can be costly, difficult and often frustrating. Current insurance companies and third party payers demand positive outcomes, not only including pain relief, but also timely return to work, sports or function, while keeping costs down. Back problems in different people all require a specific approach, but how are you going to treat these problems in a short period of time? And how will you be able to deal with these often frustrating chronic pain patients or workman's cases?

This comprehensive program will give you the opportunity to understand, assess and treat back problems with great outcomes. You will be able to address each specific problem in an individual manner. Back patients will get better faster with better outcomes. Even those challenging patients will get better in fewer visits with great outcomes. This seminar will make you more efficient, competent and successful. You feel more in control over your work. The most current information will be shared so you can develop strategies to effectively manage back problems. After this one-day seminar you will be able to return to your work setting, implement programs instantly and see immediate results.
