Why is it that avoiding BLTs (bending, lifting, and twisting) is so important after spine surgery? What can you do to prepare your body for that surgery? Join all three Spine Center directors - Roger Hartl, Neel Mehta, and Ricky Singh - for the last Spine Time of 2023. A pandemic-inspired series from the experts of the WCM Center for Comprehensive Spine Care, Spine Time explored a new and interesting topic on scheduled Wednesdays at 5 pm. With in-person appointments and events back now, we will suspend Spine Time after this episode. We'll be back for occasional episodes as we can, but this is the final regularly scheduled Spine Time.

Course Directors: Georgiana Dobri, MD Theodore Schwartz, MD Please join us for a comprehensive overview and discussion of the evaluation; management; and medical, surgical, and radiation treatments of the pituitary tumor. The conference will comprise lectures, case-based talks, and Q & A sessions. The pituitary gland plays an enormously important role in human development, the maintenance of various essential physiologic functions, and aging and senescence, but general practitioners and even specialists in endocrinology may not be fully aware of the widespread impact of the pituitary gland in health and disease. The function of this course is to educate and inform the medical audience about pituitary disease. Find out more at http://bit.ly/pituitary2023
