Webinar: The Back Pain Pandemic, Part 2 – Low Back Pain

On Wednesday, August 12th, Excel Physical Therapy President and Co-Founder Matt Gibble was joined by non-operative spine specialist Dr. James Natalicchio of Active Orthopedics to discuss lower back pain and non-surgical treatment options.

Under normal circumstances, 80% of the population experiences back pain at some point in their life. Low back pain can be a result of sprains, strains, degeneration or even neurological issue. Regardless, there are many options for treating low back pain that do not necessarily include surgery.
