Neck pain and its associated disorders, including headache and radiating pain into the arm and back, are major health concerns in society. It is estimated that neck pain disables approximately 5% of the population and between 10% to 20% of the population experience persistent or chronic neck pain. Whether neck pain arises from occupational injuries, motor vehicle collisions or recreational activities the socio-economic burden of neck pain is a major population health issue.

The World Congress will present the latest scientific research and findings of evidence-based systematic reviews, on the cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and societal impact of neck pain and associated functional disability.

The Program Format includes plenary, break-out sessions, panels, poster sessions, question and answer sessions. The congress will begin on January 20, 2008 at 8:00 AM and finish January 22, 2008 at 12:30 PM. View Preliminary Program.
