Featured Course: Pelvic Pain: Mechanisms and Evidence-Based Diagnosis & Treatment March 15-16, 2010; Broadmoor Hotel, Colorado Springs, CO Andry Vleeming, PhD; Frank H. Willard, PhD; Doris Newman, DO Anticipated 16 hrs 1-A CME                Register On-line The etilogy of the lumbopelvic pain has received much attention in this century due to the prevelance and economic impact of this condition. Often, the focus of investigation and treatment has been on topographic anatomy with the goal being to identify the specific pain generating structure (i.e. disc, facet, igament, muscle). When the faulty structure cannot be identified, diagnoses such as nonspecific low back pain and idiopathic soft tissue disorders are offered. Clinically, specific tests have been developed to evaluate the function of the lumbopelvic region paying less attention to pain and more to biomechnical principles. Treatment programs, including both manual medicine and exercise, follow this biomechanical model. In addition, psychological factors, emotional influences and the effect they have on motor control are receiving greater attention amongst practitioners. Recovery requires attention to both the physicial and psychological ramifications of dysfunction. This course will address both.
