Webinar: Radicular Pain – From the Back, Down to The Toes
There is plenty of evidence that after a pandemic, cases of back pain will skyrocket. As a common pathology of back pain, radiculopathies will be something you see in clinic, so this radicular-ously interesting course will be examining causes and treatment of radicular pain, or nerve pain, in the lumbar spine and legs, including when leg pain is referred lumbar issues. Often, when there is an inflamed or compressed nerve root in the lumbar spine, it can radiate down the leg and cause patients to think their pain originates there.
The talk will be delivered by Dr Deepak Ravindran, Pain Management Consultant. He will be delving into the latest research on the topic and giving us the best management tips and treatment options available.
