This practical and entertaining presentation will begin with a discussion of the current evidence-based evaluation and management of common lumbopelvic structural pathology. The discussion will progress to review five commonly overlooked “functional” problems that delay recovery. In one way or another, these functional diagnoses contribute to many, if not all, of the lumbopelvic structural diagnoses that chiropractors treat. The presentation concludes by sharing current knowledge about the classification of low back pain. Attendees will leave this class with real-world tools to better manage the most common MSK presenting problem.
