Hot Topic: Unlock Clarity in Low Back Pain Treatment — Live Webinar with Dr. Julie Fritz
Lower back pain is one of the most frequent diagnoses you see—and one of the most frustrating to treat.
Patients present with wide variability. What works for one patient may fall flat for another. And while the volume of research on low back pain continues to grow, translating that evidence into clear, confident clinical decisions isn’t always straightforward.
That’s exactly where this webinar comes in.
We’re bringing you a free, live session with Dr. Julie Fritz, internationally recognized researcher and clinical expert in spinal conditions. She’ll break down the latest research in a way that’s practical, applicable, and immediately useful in the clinic.
What You’ll Learn From This Webinar:
- Evidence-supported categorization strategies for LBP presentations
- What the current research says about matching treatment to subgroups
- Practical exercise, manual therapy, and education approaches that work
- Guidance on managing persistent and recurrent lower back pain
- Clinical pearls to improve reasoning and streamline your decision-making
And because real-world questions matter, the session includes a live Q&A where you can hear Dr. Fritz tackle the clinical challenges you face every day.
We’re at a turning point in how we treat low back pain. Research has moved beyond general guidelines to more precise subgrouping and treatment matching—and clinicians who apply this approach are seeing stronger outcomes and more predictable results.
If you want to stay current—and confident—in your care decisions, this is a must-attend event.
