Back in business: orthopedic spine specialist to host free Bluffton back pain seminar

Back pain is one of the most common issues preventing people from engaging in everyday activities. Most people can find relief with time, activity modifications, physical therapy or other nonsurgical treatments.

If you want to learn more about prevention and treatment of back pain, join Beaufort Memorial board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. B. Andrew Castro for a free “Talk with the Doc” seminar at 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 6 at the Bluffton Branch Library (120 Palmetto Way, Bluffton). 

Dr. Castro will discuss the best ways to maintain the health of your spine, what to do when the pain becomes chronic and when it may be time to speak with a specialist, as well as highlighting current state-of-the-art solutions for back pain. Attendees will be able to ask questions during Dr. Castro’s presentation.

This “Talk with the Doc” seminar is free and open to the public, but registration is required to reserve your spot. For more information or to RSVP for the event, visit TalkWithDoc.eventbrite.com.
