"Oh my aching back" are arguably the four most often used words of complaint by Americans 50 years and older. It's not surprising when you learn that one out of every five people in this age group suffer from some sort of back problem.

The Osteopathic approach to lower back pain is gaining wider acceptance as sufferers look for alternatives to drug therapy and surgery. Osteopathic physicians (D.O.'s) provide an integrated approach by using the latest medical technology in addition to hands on treatment called Osteopathic Manipulation or OMT. This brings an added dimension to the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.

Want to learn more about alternative ways to treat lower back pain and the use of OMT? Please come to the San Clemente Seaside Senior Center for a free lecture by Dr. Adam Crawford on Tuesday, July 17 from 10:AM to 11:30AM. Please call the Center at 949-498-3322 for reservations.
