Webinar 3: A Modern Day Approach to Inflammation and Low Back Pain (LBP)
Our understanding of the role of inflammation and pain has changed dramatically over the past five years.
Idiopathic LBP is one condition that is often connected to systemic inflammation.
Are you interested in learning how to improve your clinical outcomes and accelerate your practice through understanding the basics of lifestyle interventions?
Taking a broader approach to system inflammation can be a key component to assessing and treating LBP from a whole-person perspective.
Join Dr. Dufour as she shares her years of research and clinical experience from a primary health care, health coaching, and functional medicine training approach as it applies to the world of physiotherapy.
