MISSION AND INVITATION
We would like to invite you to join us in November 2010 in Los Angeles, California
for the 7th Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic
Pain. Held every three years and attracting many participants, it is
the only truly multidisciplinary conference on lumbopelvic pain.
This
global congress invites practitioners, academics, researchers and
policy makers from all continents and from clinical areas as wide
ranging as medicine, physiotherapy, chiropractic, biomechanics,
osteopathy, manual therapy, exercise therapy, myotherapy, orthopaedic,
neuro-surgery, sports medicine and gynaecologist. The content of this
educational program is determined by rigorous assessment, medical
practice, literature and chart review. All programs so far presented
have been accredited by the Regents of the University of California,
San Diego Medical School and by all endorsing professional
organizations endorsing the programs.
This 4-day congress will be held between November 9 – 12, 2010 at
the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Los Angeles, U.S.A. The Hyatt Regency Hotel
has been chosen to be the headquarters for the 2010 congress. The

FORMAT AND STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM
Like
the Barcelona congress, this program will be breaking away from the
traditional mold of loosely related papers. Moderators and speakers
chosen for their expertise in selected areas will summarize
presentations, clearly delineate opposing views and attempt to reach a
consensus. They will assist participants in evaluating the information
presented.
Tuesday afternoon through to Friday will be plenary
sessions. Thursday afternoon will consist of three parallel sessions
and Friday will complete the program with a parallel and plenary
session.
The objectives of the congress will be achieved in a four
day program, starting Tuesday, November 9. Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday will consist of formal ex cathedra, tightly coordinated
lectures. These lectures are intended to present and debate what is
reasonably known in the field. A poster exhibition will illustrate
worldwide scientific progress in the field.
More information
will be added to the website in due time so please visit

Looking forward to meeting many of you in Los Angeles, November 2010,
