SAVE THE DATES, SAVE YOUR BACK!
BACK PAIN & SCIATICA: Saturday, November 17 & Saturday, December 8, both at 10:00 a.m. These free one hour workshops are interactive talksandquestion/answer sessions with ZPTowner and physical therapist, Elaine Morrison, on the topic of Back Pain and Sciatica. “Each time we do these workshops it is fun and different, because the participants are different each time. They all bring questions and issues to discuss, and we spend time not only going over the basic anatomy and physiology of the lower back and nerves, but also what can be done to help take care of the spine naturally, without medications, injections or surgery,” reports Elaine, after one of the recent workshops. If you find yourself avoiding certain activities (such as bending, lifting, standing in line, walking long periods, driving longer distances in your car, wearing tie shoes) because you have recently injured your back or are currently dealing with back pain and spasms, these workshops are for you. We want to share information that will help you take control of your situation, as much as possible, to gain the pain relief and get you back to doing the things you love to do.
