Learn the latest on managing your back pain

Four out of five people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. If you or someone you know is one of them, plan to attend the March 3 session of the Medical Lecture Series sponsored by UW Medicine and The Seattle Public Library 


UW spine care expert Dr. Stanley Herring will discuss the latest understanding of back pain. He will also cover the management of this common and sometimes disabling problem. Herring is a professor of rehabilitation medicine and medical director of Spine Care at UW Medicine. Herring is also a team physician for the Seattle Mariners and the Seattle Seahawks.


His presentation, “Oh My Aching Back!” will begin at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 3, in the Microsoft Auditorium at the Central Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue in downtown Seattle. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.


The talk is free and no tickets are needed. Everyone is welcome. Parking in the Central Library Garage is $5.
