SUMMARY:OHSU Marquam Hill Lecture - Low Back Pain: Don't Take It Lying Down
DESCRIPTION:Got back pain? You’re not alone. Americans spend at least $50 billion each year on treating low back pain, the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed work (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke - NINDS.) There are many options for treatment, but a high percentage of cases improve without specific prescription, and Dr. Deyo’s research indicates that surgery is not always the best option for long-term correction of low back pain. An advocate of public education on this subject, Dr. Deyo will discuss the latest data on successful treatment of common back complaints. 

Dr. Deyo is the Kaiser Permanente Professor of Evidence-Based Family Medicine and Professor of Medicine in the OHSU School of Medicine; and Director of the NIH-funded Multidisciplinary Clinical Research Career Development Program and the Community Engagement program of the Oregon Clinical & Translational Research Institute at OHSU.
