Another breakout session, at this continuing medical education symposium for physicians and health care practitioners, will address injuries incurred by athletes and the weekend warrior. With the increased number of sports activities and programs, unfortunately this also includes an increase in back pain and injuries. 
During this session, Kevin Macadaeg, MD, and Nate Blume, DC, will provide the latest information for the prevention and diagnosis of spine-related sports injuries. Additionally, they will discuss when spine problems should be evaluated by a spine specialist and what the more serious warning signs are; i.e. stress fractures.
