Learn it to Earn it! Lower Extremity Dysfunction and LBP

This course enhances a better understanding of presented lower extremity biomechanics, plus diagnostic and treatment options for major overlooked contributors of LBP. Additionally, Dr. Mally presents case studies discussing pre and/or post-operative arthroplasty of the knee and/or hip and its contribution to chronic LBP. Attendees implementing this powerful information and procedures can make a profound difference for otherwise untold pain and suffering. Utilizing said diagnostic and manipulation procedures can reduce chronicity and erroneous results often requiring additional care including more costly surgery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Attendees will learn how to prevent as well as manage after the fact additional joint replacements, revisions and sequelae that are frequented resulting in chronification of outcomes, otherwise confusing to many practitioners and ultimately affecting the patient.

• •Identify key lower extremity biomechanical dysfunctions that contribute to chronic lower back pain
• •Apply evidence-based diagnostic procedures to assess hip and knee dysfunction as pain generators
• •Understand the biomechanical relationship between lower extremity joints and lumbar spine pathology
• •Evaluate pre- and post-operative considerations for knee and hip arthroplasty patients presenting with persistent LBP
• •Implement targeted manipulation and treatment protocols for lower extremity-related lower back pain
• •Develop strategies to prevent chronic pain sequelae and reduce patient reliance on additional interventions
