About the Webinar

Low back pain (LBP) is responsible for approximately 55% of primary care office visits in the US. Additionally, 80% of the population will be afflicted with LBP at some point in their lifetime. Although these patients are common in most practices, providing short term and lasting relief for LBP can be challenging.

In this webinar, Mark Callanen, PT, DPT, OCS, will reveal how deep tissue laser therapy can help practitioners effectively treat this patient population. Participants will learn how this non-invasive, drug-free therapy works, common treatment mistakes and how to avoid them, and how to successfully incorporate laser therapy as part of a low back-pain management strategy.

Key talking points will include:

  • Overview of how laser therapy works
  • Common struggles treating low back pain
  • Benefits of adding laser therapy to a POC
  • Need to know basics for effective laser treatments
  • A review of supporting literature
  • Discussion of integration strategies
