Treating Lower Back Pain is organized by Niel Asher Education.

Course Overview
Across this 3.5-hour CE/CPD course, participants will examine the anatomy of the lumbar region, the science behind trigger points, and the ways in which myofascial pain may contribute to low back pain presentations.

The course includes 2.5 hours of online video classes in which Dr. Kuttner explains lumbar anatomy, trigger point mechanisms, pain referral, and treatment techniques through clear teaching and practical demonstrations.
