Low Back Pain: Common Conditions and How to Manage Acute and Chronic Pain in the Lumbar Spine
focusing primarily on the lumbar region (low back), as well as discuss common injuries and conditions people experience both in the acute (recent onset) and chronic (> 3 months) setting. We will discuss what options are available for treating low back pain including both surgical and non-operative measures, as well as determine if physical therapy is appropriate to reduce pain and improve daily function.
