Dr. Mackey reviewed the epidemiology of low back pain and presented an interesting statistic asserting that there is a 60 to 90 percent life-time prevalence of low back pain and that it is the second most common complaint of chronic pain. He dubbed the transition from acute to chronic low back pain, &#8220;<em>Catastrophizing.<\/em>&#8220;\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The doctor transitioned to a discussion on post-surgical pain. It was interesting to hear that some 34 million Americans undergo surgery each year, and post-operative pain (pain that lasts longer than 3 to 6 months) can be common. On average, ten percent of post-surgical patients will develop chronic pain  a somewhat startling figure. He talked about the factors affecting chronic pain; including the fear of surgery, childhood experiences, and pre-existing conditions (such as depression or anxiety).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mackey is a widely recognized physician from Stanford University who has published many items that I have been fortunate to read. This presentation was\u00a0 a spectacular discussion of the studies and information that have been developed at Stanford University.<\/p>\n<p>For more conference recaps, visit our <strong><em>Knowledge Center<\/em><\/strong> by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/category\/conference-recaps\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/knowledge-center\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1266 alignleft\" title=\"knowledgecenteronlysmall\" src=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/knowledgecenteronlysmall12-300x39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/knowledgecenteronlysmall12-300x39.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hartleymedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/knowledgecenteronlysmall12-1024x135.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Sean Mackey gave a fascinating lecture at the Napa [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
