There are many myths and misconceptions that have contributed to low back pain becoming a modern day epidemic. These misbeliefs drive up health care costs and slow recovery. This is a large reason why episodes of chronic low back pain have tripled over the past 20 years!
Join Dr. Jason Elvin, PT, DPT, OCS and Kinetic Physical Therapy for an educational dinner and learn The Truth About Low Back Pain. Dr. Elvin has spoke both locally and nationally on the management of low back pain.
