El dolor lumbar: Mucho más que un dolor (URJC)

Si padeces dolor lumbar, si tienes pacientes con dolor lumbar o simplemente te interesa conocer distintos aspectos sobre el dolor lumbar, este es tu curso. ¿Qué es el dolor lumbar? El dolor lumbar es aquel que se localiza en la región posterior del tronco, entre las últimas costillas y la región glútea. Este síntoma se cuenta entre los padecimientos más frecuentes del ser humano. El dolor lumbar es una de las principales causas de incapacidad temporal y de invalidez permanente.

En muchos estudios, más del 80% de las personas entrevistadas refieren haber padecido al menos un episodio de lumbalgia en su vida. Menos del 50% de los pacientes con dolor lumbar consultan por este problema y en un 20% de los casos el dolor evoluciona hacia el dolor crónico, con una importante limitación para la actividad laboral y los actos elementales de la vida cotidiana.

Este curso tiene por objetivo introducirte en el conocimiento de este dolor tan común, conocer las causas y sobre todo dar a conocer los distintos tratamientos que tiene, no solo desde el punto de vista farmacológico o quirúrgico, sino además desde el punto de la fisioterapia de la psicología.
En el curso participan expertos en el tratamiento del dolor en los distintos campos como pueden ser farmacólogos, médicos, fisioterapeutas y psicólogos.
En este curso los alumnos adquieren conocimientos sobre unos de los dolores crónicos más prevalentes desde distintos puntos de vista:

  • Fisiopatología y distintos tipos de dolor lumbar
  • Tratamiento farmacológico e intervencionista
  • Tratamiento con fisioterapia y prevención
  • Abordaje con distintas técnicas psicológicas
