What is truly best practice for acute back pain? And why some of us don’t want to hear the truth? - With James Schomburgk

In this webinar, I will delve into the realm of interventions for acute low back pain, separating those supported by scientific validity from those lacking evidence or potentially harmful despite frequent prescription. I'll unveil findings that clinicians may find uncomfortable but crucial to confront. My aim is to bridge the gap between scientific evidence and its practical application at the frontline of treating individuals grappling with acute back pain.
