Back pain: Its causes, treatments and prevention
Back pain is a very common condition that affects more than 80% of all people at some time in their lives. The pain can be so severe that it becomes disabling and is one of the most common reasons people have to miss work due to illness. A recent survey carried out in Malaysia showed that about 12% of the people had low back pain at one point in time.
The back can be injured during falls, sports injuries, and heavy lifting, although sometimes the pain seems to appear for no reason. Another very common reason for back pain is pregnancy. In some cases the pain may go away after a few weeks, but it sometimes lasts for months and even years. In fact, some people never recover from their back pain.
The Klang Valley area is very fortunate because an internationally renowned author and lecturer on back pain, Associate Professor Phillip Ebrall, Head of Chiropractic at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia, will be at the International Medical University (IMU) this Sunday (1 November) to give a talk on the causes, treatments, and prevention of back pain. This workshop is designed to be of interest to health care professionals, as well as the general public. Atextbook written by Dr Ebrall on the examination of the spine (entitled Assessment of the Spine) that is used in the training of chiropractic doctors around the world.
Another internationally renowned lecturer on chiropractic, Associate Professor George Lebeau, will also give a demonstration of the analysis and correction of back problems. Dr Le Beau is widely known for his involvement in the treatment of amateur and professional athletes, including the U.S. Olympic Judo team.
Chiropractors are trained as back-care experts who can determine the cause of the pain, provide effective treatment, and make referrals to appropriate specialists when necessary. Professor Michael Haneline, IMU Head of Chiropractic, will describe what chiropractic is and how chiropractors can help people with back pain.
In conjunction with this workshop that is open to the general public, the IMU Chiropractic Programme will host a seminar on how disorders of the neck can cause of dizziness. This special seminar will be attended by chiropractors from Hong Kong, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, as well as Malaysia.
We anticipate this event to be very popular, so please reserve your spot early.
