Eight out of 10 Americans experience back or neck pain at one time in their lives, and almost two-thirds of those say it negatively impacts their quality of life. John T. Mather Memorial Hospital’s Back & Neck Pain Center (BNPC) treats back and neck pain through efficient, effective care that is also the least invasive and least costly.
Patients are evaluated by the BNPC’s nurse practitioner to determine the best care plan. Patients are then referred to a member of the Center’s team, which includes board-certified physicians, surgeons, nurse practitioners, physical therapists and chiropractors.
A free breakfast seminar about the Back & Neck Pain Center will be held at Mather on Feb. 6 from 8:30-11 am in the LIAP Conference Center. To register, call 631-686-7880 or at www.matherhospital.org/bnpc-main.php
