CHARLOTTE, NC - Join Presbyterian Healthcare experts for a free back pain seminar on Feb. 22 from 12-1 p.m. at Presbyterian Orthopaedic Hospital, located at 1901 Randolph Road, Charlotte. Lunch will be served. To register, call 704-384-CARE (2273).

Back pain is common – but in most cases, it can be prevented or treated. “Solutions for Back Pain,” a free seminar for the community, is dedicated to sharing information on back pain, including prevention, tips for living with back pain and non-surgical and surgical treatment options.

“People who suffer from back pain often wait for the pain to go away on its own or think they have to live with it,” said Tony Kwon, MD, a spine surgeon with Total Spine Specialists and the event’s featured speaker. “But it’s important not to suffer in silence. When it comes to treating or managing symptoms, there are a lot of effective options out there.”

By attending this free seminar, back pain sufferers will learn ways to manage their conditions and get information about services available if they need more advanced care. Dr. Kwon and other experts will be on hand to offer advice and answer questions.
