Spinal pain, according to him, is the leading cause of disability across all age cohorts. Nonetheless, misdiagnosis of the disease is common due to the fact that numerous conditions manifest atypical symptoms. During the early phases, spinal disorders may manifest as mild discomfort devoid of distinct symptoms, potentially causing patients to disregard the matter. Failure to notice this may lead to an incorrect diagnosis or a postponement of treatment, thereby increasing the likelihood of serious complications such as urinary incontinence, hunchback, curvature, and disability.

The treatment approaches vary in accordance with the severity of the disease. Physicians may consider non-surgical internal interventions in conjunction with physical therapy to eliminate the necessity for surgery when detected early. When the disease has advanced to an advanced stage, it becomes critical to consider surgical intervention. At the moment, significant progress has been made in the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of spinal disorders due to the development of innovative treatment methods and instruments.

Medical professionals can benefit greatly from the seminar by networking with other experts in the field, learning new information, and celebrating both professional and personal triumphs. Pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim Company is the proud sponsor of the event.
