BILLIONS of dollars are spent on back pain each year...
It is one of the most common issues people face, but are we approaching it the right way? In this episode, we dive into the basics of low back pain, exploring the most common cause and providing tactics on where to start if you are currently having low back pain.
We also discuss:
✅ Why you don’t usually need an MRI for back pain.
✅ The risks of unnecessary imaging, including increased costs, catastrophizing, and a higher likelihood of chronic pain.
