Stanley Herring, medical director of Spine Care and professor of rehabilitation medicine, orthopaedics and sports medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, joins two other experts in an exploration of pain. Pain is an adverse perception of physical, sensory and emotional dimensions with major impact on the general and specific well being of an affected individual. Individuals vary greatly in the level of pain intensity, duration and functional impairment experienced. The human lower back is a prime focal point of pain manifestation for a considerable majority of humankind. In this presentation, three physicians provide their observations on causation and symptomatic treatment of pain and provide insight into the differences of pain manifestations and perception between human beings as well as provide a thought-provoking outlook on alternatives in approaching pain management.
